Author bio

I'm just a guy that loves decorating blank pages with words. Located somewhere in North America. I love reading and writing; I've always had crazy ideas floating around my head and have only recently found a way to turn them into a reality. I would love to read anything you make! Don't hesitate to demolish my work because I can't learn unless I'm told what I can do better! If you like my stuff I'd appreciate a follow and I'll follow you back!
