About me

Living in the foothills of the Northeast Georgia Mountains, I find solace in reading books, writing and playing on-line games with my friends. I enjoy writing about various topics, dabble in a bit of fantasy and science fiction but more for fun than profit.(Which is probably a good thing.)

I've learned that it really isn't what you do that defines you as much as it is how well you do it. I've also found that success is very dependent upon loving what your doing.
