Hello to all,
I'm an aspiring writer with an odd background. I did not start reading fantasy until my after college, but fell in love with the genre, my first love being history. I have a bachelors and masters in the subject, with a concentration on military history.

Anyway, I'm also a certified personal trainer and often go for long runs. While running, I think about scenes from movies, books, etc. and either place myself in that situation, or create a whole new scene just for the entertainment. I eventually came up with new races, cultures, and magic systems. One day I had the idea "you should really write this down," and here I am.

I'm from New Jersey, am a former martial artist in Jungki Hapkido, and am interested in all sorts of subjects, including history, economics, politics, anthropology, psychology, physiology, and a bunch of others. I'm also an enthusiastic amateur in the firearm world, not a gun nut (yet) but not a complete novice either. Looking forward to learning from everyone and contributing my knowledge when I can.

Hail and well met Jerseydevil
"You should really write this down" is where the good stuff starts!
Within the last year I've started running and find the mix of exhaustion and movement very creative. I haven't quite worked out how to make notes...
Hope you enjoy MS.
