I think it would be interesting to know how you got into writing as a profession (if it is your main occupation). Were you an English major in college, did you stumble into the work because you love bikes? Who are your literary influences? Info please, chop, chop!

Its funny that you ask that, I took a writing class my freshmen year in college. I was really interested in it, but i didnt finish school, i found the job i have now and i make very good money so i just went on to this. I have a passion for writing especially about motorcycles. I have also been writing songs and poetry since i can remember. I wrote for my school newspaper and took jounalism all 4 years of high school. But never had a lot of formal training. I can set down with paper and pen and just come up with my story in about 30 minutes. It takes me about a week to put a story together. The story i am working on right now is taking longer because ive been working over a lot and my grandma is the hospital on life support and just havent had the time to do anything extra.

Anyways, yeah its not my occupation its just my hobbie. My goal is to get better and try to get on board with Road Racer X, they are based out of Morgantown, WV. So that would be a lot closer to me. Any magazine would be awesome. So i am just going to take my time, get better and get a portfolio together. I really hope to do something with this soon. I am very dedicated to the thingsI love, andI am very dedicated to what I do. I love riding and writing and as long as i can, you see my stuff. I hope to be doing this for a long time, i just hope to get in some printed stuff. But i love speedfreak, they are awesome. I hope to get more involved in the things they do too.

(thanks for your support too, you guys are awesome) x0x0

Im back...last week was a crappy week...and this week doesnt look like its going to get any better. My mom was admitted in the hospital last night, so i have been with her at the hospital all day yesterday and i have to go when i get off work. Work is really going to get me down, cause im so behind. I have no help...so that makes it even worse.

Thank guys for your support on everything, my next article should be posted after daytona bike week is over. I will let ya know as soon as its posted...=)
