About me I am a confessed book addict. I read painfully slow because I try to savor each word. I keep track of how many books I read. I average about 2 per month. I usually have several books going at one time. I am a failed writer. An English degree and some really good creative writing courses under my belt didn't pay the rent, so I ended up in a technical job that does. I think about writing in my spare time.

About my library We keep books all over the house. Art books in my wife's studio. Non-fiction and humor in the guest room. But my favorite, the fiction section, I keep in my office. I worked in a library while I was in college, so I have a great fondness for the way books look in stacks. It's comforting to me in ways that I suspect sunsets and sleeping kittens are to other people. They remind me of my dream, not yet dead, to finish something, someday, some piece of writing, and get people to read it. That's the goal.

Greetings! I came across your profile after having added my favourite authors to my own (it seems we share 6 out of my 14). I love the way you write about yourself and your library! It looks like the beginning of a novel that I would like to read. Perhaps not a very helpful comment under the circumstances, but still …
I recently got my first novel published (in Norwegian). After having written about half of it, I still had no idea I would actually finish. I still find it strange that I did. I hope you get to finish something, and that you manage to enjoy the process of writing no matter what.
Greetings to another failed writer. ;) Don't give up hope! Even when my writing seems utterly hopeless, I still manage to maintain hope. Hang in there! :)
I hope your dream comes true...
