Personally, I'm just thrilled that I've found a place where I can talk with like minded, passionate people. I really think that the best part of ql is the passion we can all share about the world and what we do.

While I may not be an aspiring writer, I am an activist and aspiring politician. I recently posted an article on reforming public education, and dex2988 started a forum where he posted his response. Since then, I have gotten so much constructive and positive feed back that I've been able to refine and focus my ideas in ways that I dont think I would have been able to do without my friends on ql. So, while you might not want to post all of your magnum opus, especially as it gets close to completion, I would encourage you to take part in the discussion and interact with those you meet. We are very sincere and interested in what goes on. Also, if you are worried about you're materials being taken, if you post them on this site, you have a way of showing that you wrote them at a certain time: the website records.

hey thanks, i like your photography. i was reading your thing about whether quarterlife is empowering or pathetic. i think you have a good question there. as a musician everybody's always like, the internet is where its happening, but then you get off the internet and all you have to show for it is you've been on the computer a couple of hours.

Thanks!
I actually have no idea what I'm doing with a camera; I'm always just fooling around with it. So no, no photomanipulation :). I wish I was that adept!

about me.

occupation: writer, student, tutor

What I write: Fiction, though I've tried and failed at playwriting and sketch comedy. I even gave the magazine industry a go (for the money). It wasn't for me; apparently, either is the money.

bad habit: a proclivity to become addicted to or obsessed with slightly trivial things, such as TV on DVD or the bographical info of singer/songwriters

Two random facts that I hope you'll find charming: I accidentally murder all of my plants. I also collect tea pots but always end up making my tea in a mug in the microwave.
