TAKING A LOA

I enjoy writing. There, I said it. This is probably not a shock, but it is nonetheless true. There is something about creating using words that fascinates me. Thus my time here at Protagonize has been a wonderful experience. So many amazing authors! I dragged my Muse here too and relish plotting and writing with him. He's pretty darn awesomesauce.

Most of my writing is urban or dark fantasy or horror. I'm a sucker for good stories about vampires, werewolves and things that go bump in the night! I also dabble in silly stories, folklore/fairy tales, and some more dramatic writing. I try to push myself to try new styles or genres, although it doesn't always work out. Poetry and I are just not that friendly

I like to improve my writing and hope I'll continue to become a better writer. It is a never-ending task, like so much in life. If you have some suggestions or constructive criticism, I am always happy to get feedback so please, I would rather a comment than a rating. Although ratings are nice.
