metboy

Well, if you're reading this, either you want to know about other stuff I've written, or about me personally. Well, let's see...

I adopted the screen name MetBoy when I first joined the Bob and George foums... I can't remember precisely when, but before the Attack of Mynd. I've been using the name ever since, so if you see the name it's probably me. My other active online hangout is PonyMUSH where I play Sky Sparkler, and I can be found playing Star Trek Online with the display name @met_boy (Feel free to say hello if you see me online, but blind friend requests will be automatically deleted).

I've got a full time job at an engineering design/integration company, specializing in instrumentation and control for water and waste water systems. It's really rewarding knowing something I did so much work on is being used by so many, even if they don't think much about it.

While it's a great job, it takes a lot of my time, and I'm not that good at creative writing. (Or at least, not good at making myself do it) So I only do about an hour or so of story writing a day... so don't expect many novels from me. On the other hand, I'm learning that I need less in the way of 'solid idea' to make a story work, so... *shrug*

I use the blog to post messages about things like story delays to all who have +faved a story, so I don't clog up the story itself. I also use it to bombard my followers with random notes/thoughts/etc. The lessons I'm learning about creative writing, some personal life stuff, etc. I'll try to keep them sensible and substantive.

For more general stuff about my life check my tumblr, and for my short stories (under the 1000 word minimum) check my deviantart page.
