To: writer33

I have been writing short stories, poetry, and one episode of "Star Trek: Voyager", which was considered, but never aired.

I started in 1995, to write a novel - a work of sci-fi/fantasy. I've had good advice from an ameteur editor, who has made the manu bleed red ink from all the corrections, but it's looking better. I've become a better writer for it.

I've been working with it, on and off, as a pasttime. I really have no real hope of publishing it: three submissions all said variations of the same thing: "the market is saturated".

So, I write for me, and no one else - except for the poetry. That, I share here on FR, and a few other places, and the comments have been very favorable.

I know I'm an excellent writer; my writing style has been called Tolkien-esque, which I hold as a high compliment.
