I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a writer. Right now I'm working on a graphic novel, and a few side projects while navigating my way through the distractions of life. When I'm not writing I'm making beats for my own perverse sonic pleasure, and generally not getting much sunlight. So it goes, I guess.

My Interests

Insomnia, good movies, good food, diners, fiction/nonfiction, cooking/baking, music, writing, comics/manga, politics, and the occasional curb stomping.

I'd like to meet:

I'm mostly here to meet artists, other writers, and musicians - everything else is secondary.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment
