I like words. I like the way they sound, I like their sub­tle shades of mean­ing, their power and their ori­gins. I like make up words, roll them around on my tongue and see how they feel. I write sen­tence frag­ments, I often will use a sen­tence because I like the rhythm and cadence even if it doesn't per­fectly mesh with the sen­tences sur­round­ing it, I write "email" with­out a hyphen, I am a big fan of the phrase "muy­muy,".^[1] I'm lucky if I use the proper kind of punc­tu­a­tion, and I have a love-​​​​obsession with the comma.

I like to put words together, occa­sion­ally they even make sense. I often write non-​​​​sensical fan­tasy and sci­ence fic­tion, or short flash fic­tion about dogs, cyber mum­mies or strange plan­ets that shouldn't exist. Kind of like the Won­der Twins if they had more imag­i­na­tion. ^[2] I'm not sure you call what I do writ­ing, but it's the clos­est descrip­tion I can come up with.

I firmly believe a sen­tence can end with prepo­si­tions or begin with "and". I believe adverbs should be used as often and as lib­er­ally as possible.

By day I am a mild man­nered ^[3] Soft­ware Engi­neer for a com­pany in Boston, MA.

By night, I cre­ate worlds.
