About Me

I love to write, it's my main passion in life. I've been writing since I was 16, but it wasn't until I was older that I started writing Sci-fi and dark fantasy.
I have thought of about 10 story ideas over the last 5 years, but I have only thought out in detail about three of them. Right now I'm working on a collection of short stories which I hope to send in for publication.
I am a member of O.W.W.(Online Writers Workshop)where I help other improve on their craft. This teaches me as well and helps me to become a better writer.
If you want to learn more about my writing, please visit my website;http://jljohnson.webs.com/
I have recently been accepted to the Community Editorial Board for the Kingston Whig Standard. I will be posting links to my published editorials when they become available.
