Anywhere but here
Is where I would like to be
Anywhere but sitting in this chair
Listening to the boss pull his hair
Anywhere but at this desk
Staring at my computer screen
Anywhere but in the office
Listening to my pathetic peers chatter
Anywhere, absolutely, anywhere but here
Is where I would rather be

I recently decided to start writing again. My quixotic ambition is to eventually become a writer on a full-time basis, thus here I am. This will serve as an experimental portfolio of my work. I hope you enjoy reading it, as much as I enjoy writing it. Feedback is always welcomed as I am always looking to improve.

Quotes that keep me writing . . .
“However great a man’s natural talent may be, the act of writing cannot be learned all at once.” – Jean Jacques Rousseau
“You have to write a million words before you find your voice as a writer.” – Henry Miller
“You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.” – Jack London
“Having imagination, it takes you an hour to write a paragraph that, if you were unimaginative, would take you only a minute. Or you might not write the paragraph at all.” – George Herbert
