I write stories, I build worlds. I enjoy the worldbuilding and character creation more than the writing of the stories. I GM games for players, and sometimes I get to sit on the opposite side of the screen and run some of the characters I've created.   My wife is an author who enjoys telling stories more than worldbuilding. Together, we make a pretty decent team.   My kid is well on her way to writing her own stories, as well!   Other things I enjoy are music (both playing/recording and listening to), movies (borderline addict), video games (absolute addict), and sailing.   Grew up in Africa and the Middle East, sort-of Backpacked Across part of Eastern Europe when I was a teen.
