I am also a writer. A front-end developer. A gardener. A small-town Alabama kid just trying to figure out whatever it is that that folks are supposed to figure out on this journey. Welcome to my little home on the web.
This is a little something I wrote to help me out with a presentation in Fiction Writing I. I gave each student in the class a copy of this and a copy of “Claws.” My teacher actually asked me if she could use this to show other classes. Interview With … Continue reading →
