Well, I figured it was time to de-lurk

I've been writing for my entire life, my mom says she doesn't remember a time when I was little that I didn't have a pencil and paper in my hand. As I got older though, life got in the way and my writing was usually just journaling and beginnings of stories. I always get these ideas, get really really psyched about them, and then loose my steam part way into them.

So, since I'm now 24 years old, I decided it was time to write a novel and finish it even if it kills me!

Going to take part in the NanoWriMo thingie in November as well.

So of course the problem is that I've got outlines for 4 different novels, and I'm only 26,000 words into one of them and 600 into another. It's definitely a learning experience and an exercise in patience!

Anyways, just wanted to say hi to everyone! Not sure if there are any other Bermudians on this list - hehe I love being unique - but if so PM me and perhaps we can meet up.

I know what you mean, my name is Jason. People always thought I was a guy with a hockey mask from Friday the 13th... always made me feel creepy.

Well, I certainly hope finishing your novel doesn't kill you, JenJoyful. What's the fun in that?

Welcome!
