Life-long writer!  I lost all my early writing in my teenage years and haven't seriously considered writing, anymore than scribbling at times.  I've entertained the idea of organizing what writing I do have.
Besides letting life get in the way of writing, I try not to let it interfere with reading and obtaining what knowledge may be available to me.  I enjoy reading sci-fi/fantasy novels, anything outside the norm.  I am also interested in historical, technical, scientific or any informative publications.
Being recently diagnosed with a thyroid disorder and dealing with it keeping me from the job-site,  I've found time for much more reading than I've had before.
