**Recent Editing/Publishing**

 * [|Catskills EM Homepage]- A wordpress blog I designed when I worked as an Event Moderator for an online game titled [| Ultima Online] . I wrote fiction and copy-edited it to post on the blog, then carried that fiction out in real-time with the mmorpg's players through online gameplay. I no longer work for them, but some of my characters and events can be found in the archives.

History with Editing

 * I have taken advanced composition, writer's studio, creative writing, and other classes in which creating work and editing it for an audience was the main focus.

About Me
I'm in my last semester here at IUP, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my life. I've got that to look forward to. The starving artist route becomes less appealing once you're starving, I'd imagine. We'll see what comes my way. As far as my writing and reading, up until the last few years it was mostly fantasy-genre based. I've begun writing more toward realism, attempting to emulate writers like Joyce and others. It's different, for sure. I'm not sure if I've tainted what initially brought me my love of all things writing, or if I'm just maturing in my style. It could be both, I suppose. As far as things not English-related, I play the guitar (Fender Stratocaster), I play ice hockey, and I'm an avid gamer, mostly PC (Starcraft II, among others).
