Writing, reading, drawing, learning, eating, cavorting, tasting, trying, grilling, kicking, running, walking, strolling...I really enjoy writing. I haven't felt very motivated to write anything recently, but hopefully the bug will kick in again this spring.Despite how much I like reading, I only read two novels last year. I'm hoping to read more than that this year, but we'll see how things turn out.I also like drawing, and I hope to put some of my, er, artwork on display sometime, if I draw any comics that I feel good about.
