Hi all, I've been an on again, off again writer for much of my life and, as a result, an infrequent member of this forum for a number of years. I've recently started reading and writing again as a commitment to myself to make time for things I enjoy, so I felt it appropriate to reintroduce myself. I've enjoyed writing primarily fantasy and historical fiction through the years though my interests seem to change with age. I love writing because I find it so creatively engaging and love formulating plots, developing characters and world-building. However, I have never really considered myself a good technical writer, which is part of the reason why I find these boards to be such a good resource I live in Vancouver Canada, work in software, and like dogs, hockey, and history. Glad to make your acquaintance!
