What started as a life-long dream, a item on a bucket list to be checked off, turned into something more.

I write to entertain, but mostly so readers can experience life from a whole new perspective. More in comments...

"All writers are vain, selfish and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives lies a mystery. Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand." - George Orwell

This means so much to me and I need more major creators to admit to things like this. "But i'm a professional!!!" Not disputed.

I dont know how to articulate me wanting more of this. But I want it. Like I dont like Bendis's work but I'll read it just for this.
