I have been writing since I was 18 but then it was always Poems and lyrics (I thought I was a musician). Anyway my freshman year in college I wrote a short story for an assignment. This was in 1995 or 1996, it was called "Popular", my professor loved it, she told me my grammar was not very good, (which it still is horrible) she also told me my story telling was captivating but I needed guidance to learn to put it to words better. She kept my story, and said she wanted to show it to some people. I never got it back and did not save a copy of it.
Anyway that was my first experience in writing and I have sort of fell in love with it. I started a Science Fiction novel on accident in 2000. Not sure why I started even writing, at that time I had never even read any books, but I loved to tell stories. That novel I called it Believers, it is over 400 pages in Microsoft Word and I can't even remember how many words it had in it, but I was captivated with the story in my head. My problem was and still is my grammar. That novel has been shelved and looked at again time and again but I have never finished it.
I would love to share it with someone but they would have to be open minded and know that I was not trying to be a writer, but I was trying to tell a story, if that makes sense? I also have a Fantasy book I started called Oriane, as well as a short story fantasy I submitted to Tor.com and got rejected called Cade's Quest. It was just a quick story I basically made up as I went along to see if I could write a short story and get it published. I tried to fit as much in as I could in the word restrictions they put on their submissions.
That is a little or well a lot about my writing, but I thought I would throw a nice chunk out there to anyone interested in taking in a hunk of clay to help mold. I onyl get to write in my spare time because I work full time and I am a father of three so I am kept pretty busy. Thanks for taking to time to read this and if anyone is interested in seeing someone's writing even if the grammar is that of a child just let me know .
