About me

Howdy. I'm an English and History graduate who doesn't want to teach and a Journalism graduate who doesn't want to be a journalist. My educational choices were clearly superb.

Currently I'm a freelance writer who aspires to eke out a living from the comfort of home. I can and will write about anything and everything, so long as I have time enough to research. Drop me a line if you have some work that needs doing.

(Oh, and if you notice some extra u's in my work, I apologize. That's the Canadian grammar in me working its way to the surface. It's hard to control.)

Briefly me

My passion is ...

sleep. Glorious sleep.

I know too much about ...

video games. Just look at my articles, for pity's sake.

My parents always told me ...

that I needed to get out more. And now I do. Kinda.

My childhood ambition ...

was to beeeee the veeeery best, like nooo ooone ever waaaaas DUH DUH DUUUUH (No, not really.)

My favorite memory ...

isn't PG. Sorry.

Why I write ...

I'm good at it. (I think?) Plus, hey, it's fun. Getting paid for making things up is a dream come true. One day, Fiction, one day...

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Reading, short stories by Philip K. Dick. Watching, Myth Busters. Listening to, Avenged Sevenfold. Not all at the same time, of course. (Wouldn't that be awesome, though?)

My first job ...

was a paperboy. What else?

My best moment ...

is yet to come, I think.

My inspiration ...

will remain anonymous, lest they get a fat head about it.
