    Hey guys. I'm Mick.

    Hey! I'm Mick Carranza. I'm 23 years old, I'm a soldier and I'm currently deployed to Afghanistan. My job title is "Behavioral Health Specialist" and I work in a Combat Stress Clinic where I counsel soldiers with depression, anxiety, and early signs of PTSD. I love my job. I'm also a Psych major and I hope to go into Christian Counseling someday.

    I'm also a singer, drummer, and a fantasy fiction writer. I am currently working on a fantasy novel with some intense religious overtones. I'll post more later, but if you want to know, it's called "Godspeed the Dawn."

    Message me if you want more info on it or would like to collaborate with me in some way. Thanks!

    -Mick

    Hi Mick. Welcome to WF.

    Thanks Olly. To be honest, I was worried about overestimating my welcome with feedback like that, but I guess in my line of work, being tactful just comes naturally.
