CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a simple and happy guy. I like to write sci-fi and fantasy stories and love to read.

My favorite quotes:

"And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is'."
-Kurt Vonnegut

"Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand."
-Kurt Vonnegut

"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional."
-Haruki Murakami

"When it comes to the reading part of it, there's a magic moment, a really magic moment--if you read enough it will always come to you if you want to be a writer--where you put down some book and say, 'This really sucks. I can do better than this. And this got published!'."
-Stephen King on why writers should read a lot

"People are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
-Abraham Lincoln
