"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them." - Henry David Thoreau
That was me for more years than I care to count. Books, tabletop RPGs, and video games were my escape from the "muggle" world. So was writing though, like everything else, only as a hobby. Not something a "real adult" took seriously.
About five years ago, my glorious wife sat me down for a serious talk. She looked me in the eyes and said "You can write. You need to write and you have stories to tell. Stop treating it as a hobby. Respect your talent and pursue your passion."
So, here I am, pursuing my passion to entertain, to inspire thought, and to inject some small measure of color into a world that is far too much black and white. I still do the muggle thing to pay the bills, but it is a disguise. The real me is here, with you good folks.
Let us step through the looking glass together, and into the Wonderland of imagination, hope, desire, and dreams. Thank you for taking this journey with me.
