I am a writer and have been since my nerdy little self was on a writing team in the seventh grade. (Laugh if you must, but I went to state and that sure as hell wouldn’t have happened in any athletic pursuit!) My professional life as a writer has been quite the letdown, if you must know. I have written a fair share of things, some of them even decent things, but I have not had that story. You know… The story. A story like this one.
