Hi! My name is Tim, and I want to be a writer when I grow up. Oh, wait, I already grew up; this makes things awkward. Anyway, I guess it’s good that I aspire to be a writer. I know that sounds fun. This is my dream, to write, and I work on living this dream as much as I possibly can between being a father and raising two amazing and wild boys, who are also growing up so fast and are constantly keeping me on my toes…and awake at night when I desperately want to sleep. I also am a spouse to a woman, an amazing woman who, for some strange but fantastic reason for me, loves me and puts up with my shenanigans and eccentricities. I am also what you would call a nerd. I love being a nerd. It’s so nerdy.
I show this nerd-ism through storytelling with friends once a week in our communal escape to my basement, known only as Dungeons and Dragons. This is also where I fuel my storytelling. I also love art. I love all the different mediums of art. I consider myself an artist through painting, music, and writing/poetry. I also love movies, comic books, video games, and, well, duh, books. I love stories and love to escape through them, and I love to tell them as well. So, I, as I stated above, try to live out my dream as a writer. Unfortunately, it’s not a paying gig, and yes, maybe it has something to do with the fact that I have yet to complete a novel and get it out into the world for consumption. But I promise you I am working hard to make that happen.
