About Me


Make your own Banner Here!
My name is Chris. I love writing, reading, music, good movies, good TV, and video games. My ambition is to write for a living. Short stories, novels, poetry, comic books, I would enjoy writing them all. Some examples of my poetry can be found in my blog. If you want to know more about me, talk to me, I'm friendly and will enjoy conversing with you. I have stories aplenty to tell and enjoy listening much more than talking, so don't be afraid to message me. That is all.

You got that?" - Ash, Army of Darkness

"It's the rain. It's the storm we all have to endure. We hate it, but it's every drop that runs down your face that traces out who you are. Your shape. The storm shows me so much right now.
