About Me
Hi, thanks for asking! My goal? I figure I'll write what I want to and one day, if the Spirit moves, I'll just toss my words to the wind, see where they land, a rather passive way to write a book, but everybody wants to be an author, right? It seems like a rare privilege. It's been said that one must assume arrogance to write anything (even for free) because writing automatically assumes one's words are worth reading. I just know that it's the kind of courage to which I aspire. Dare I imagine?

Writing Style
I prefer conversational, but have written a lot of technical papers, especially over the course of earning my Psych degree.
