My time as a programmer was far expired by the time I realized it was no longer a hobby I enjoyed. Forced with the pressures of becoming a career programmer, I pushed myself in a direction I deemed the most practical. After a long struggle, I've come to the conclusion that in my heart, while I may have a modicum of programming ability, it is neither my calling nor pastime.

Thus, with this conclusion, I've resolved my self to a passion long suppressed; a passion riddled with insecurities. It is an activity far from practical in the career sense, but an ability I possess which I enjoy more thoroughly than I've ever enjoyed programming. I've consigned my self, openly and with conviction, to pursue a career as a novelist.

I've reconfigured my major to English, and I plan on teaching creative writing at the university level. All the while, I'll be working on my career as a novelist, writing what I can between grading papers. With that in mind, I've committed myself heavily into the Writing scene here at Newgrounds.

Curently, I'm enrolled in three competitions of varying reward; MWC 10, Robot Day 2010 Writing Competition, and the Newgrounds Writers Anthology. I hope to make a good impression across the board and hopefully become a pivotal figure in NG's Writing scene.
