It feels so weird to be writing again. Like an old friend and I sitting down and talking for the first time in years. It's uplifting but uncomfortable at the same time.

Once upon a time I wrote fanfiction and am considered by many of my friends to be one of the better writers they know. I do not think this is true.

I'm just a soldier in the U.S. Army passing the time with a few of his favorite things. That being writing, video games, reading, and trying to better myself. Once I post something (the gears of my muse have been turning for a while and begging me to write again) reviews with constructive criticism, E-mails, and mesages and such are welcome.

Begin rant. Anonther thing, DO NOT send me your opinions on the U.S. or what we're doing where ever we are. I don't make policy and frankly can't do a damn thing about it. If you do I guess there's nothing I can do either way, but I'd prefer to get only things that pertain to my writing. End Rant

Current Writing Projects: I'm working on three stories at the moment. The first and foremost on my mind is my Combat Journal: Operation Iraqi Freedom 2009-2010 (not to be posted here because it is neither fan nor fiction). Next up is my Black Lagoon fic Fallen Angel, which am currently editing spelling, format, and grammar errors in Chapter Three because the spellcheck on here didn't work, probably due to my frustratingly weak internet connection at the moment, and writing chapters Four and Five or it while outlining the rest of the Chapters. Hopefully my muse keeps working while I have some downtime. I'm also doing research for an upcoming Black Lagoon vignette about Boris of Hotel Moscow, but that one's on the backburner for a bit.

Updates for my works will come slowly and a bit away from each other for a while as I have missions and other responsibilities that require my undivided attention for much of the time.
