Lets get some­thing clear right up front: I make stuff up.

It tends to fall within cer­tain cat­e­gories like: SciFi, Humor, Slice of Life (what­ever the heck that is), Satire, Fan­tasy and Experimental.

It doesn't always make sense, occa­sion­ally is gram­mat­i­cally cor­rect, and from time to time will suck.

If you can han­dle all that, please continue. :)

By day I am a mild man­nered ^[1] Soft­ware Engi­neer for a com­pany in Boston, MA.

By night I put words together that occa­sion­ally make sense. They gen­er­ally take the form of non-​​sensical fan­tasy and sci­ence fic­tion, or short flash fic­tion about dogs, cyber mum­mies or strange plan­ets that shouldn't exist. Kind of like the Won­der Twins if they had more imag­i­na­tion. ^[2] I'm not sure you call what I do writ­ing, but it's the clos­est descrip­tion I can come up with.

I firmly believe a sen­tence can end with prepo­si­tions or begin with "and". I believe adverbs should be used as often and as lib­er­ally as possible.

I make up words, I write sen­tence frag­ments, I often will use a sen­tence because I like the rhythm and cadence even if it doesn't per­fectly mesh with the sen­tences sur­round­ing it, I write "email" with­out a hyphen, I am a big fan of the phrase "muy­muy,". I'm lucky if I use the proper kind of punc­tu­a­tion, I have a love-​​obsession with the comma^[3]
