I write for a living; technical mostly which means nobody reads it.

Teachers and professors told me my creative writing showed promise. Promises don't pay the bills.

Friends and family like my Christmas Letters. It's not that annual chronological crap. I'll pick an event and describe it. Some of those people keep up the relation just to get the annual letter.

Perhaps some of them are only being nice...

I write for fun, for creative release and for some third reason because all the writing instructors insist that these kinds of statements must be in related groups of threes.

So now I'm writing fan fiction to find out if strangers like my writing. I don't expect any of you to be nice; just honest.

... and I'll keep writing technical documentation because that does pay the bills quit nicely.
