Brief Author Bio: Recent college graduate working part-time while hoping to get on my feet as a freelance writer. I have a fondness for poetry, graphic novels, and short stories; I have the annoying verbosity of a novelist; and I have a confusing history in playwriting and journalism. A recent aggregation of all my ideas--gathered from Post-its, quickly-jotted text files, and the labyrinth of my writing wiki--showed over 300 ideas for various literary works. Somehow only three of them are finished. I am recently married and desperately looking for a more stable job before returning to a life of crime and grandiloquent prose. I intend to participate in Scriptwriting Month as well. |

Synopsis: Keeper
I heard Francis Ford Coppola once say that he didn't share his ideas until they were completed, that freeing it too early only took the momentum away, killed it.
I took this advice to heart, kept my ideas to myself until completion. It has worked very well, in my opinion.
Sorry.
