    • Writing for me is as important as eating, sleeping, and breathing. It's who and what I am.

      Visit my website: http://www.johnalewisjr.com for more info on my work.

      Besides writing at night, I'm a full-time biotech major by day and work to support my burning of the midnight oil. Ultimately, I will be a full-time writer because that's my true passion. Fame and fortune are not motivating factors, but who doesn't want to be able to support themselves doing what they love?

A precious few possess much less can understand
A servant to all souls who never walked on land
This curse, my calling; a most bittersweet blessing
I'm a writing fiend who's honestly confessing
