Taught college art and media courses for ten years. Before that I was a gallery artist and photographer (I still am off and on). Work in film here and there too. I'm not much of a writer (but I love writing and need to improve). I wrote several novels for my own entertainment over the years (five total). The one I posted in this site is a very, very rough draft (rough is putting it lightly). I just wanted to get the words down (for me that's the fun part), now I need to go back and clean up the spelling, grammar, and much more (this is also a fun challenge)! For me it is a way to relax and enjoy word craft.
