Hey there
How to start? Well, I'm Clay. I've just finished high school, and am heading off to college in the Fall. I plan to double major in English/Philosophy, with the goal of eventually making a living as a writer.

I'm not quite sure if I'm any good at writing--probably because I never let anyone see my work. Hopefully you guys can help me out in that area. I'll put a short story up here soon.

My favorites writers include: Hermann Hesse, J.D. Salinger, Franz Kafka, Albert Camus, and Aldous Huxley. I'm forgetting some, I'm sure.

Cool, welcome. I hate Kafka and don't get the big deal about Salinger. But welcome none-the-less.

*Cringe* I suppose I can understand how a person might not like Kafka, but not Salinger. Admittedly, his short stories are better than his novels. Catcher In The Rye is good, but shorts like A Perfect Day for Bananafish, Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut, and Teddy are just plain brilliant.
