Hallway Writing

Welcome to the site of an Aspiring Author

I am a storyteller. I want to share my experiences and ideas and my imagination with anyone who will listen. My goal is to spread my thoughts to a larger audience, since what is a storyteller without listeners? What is a writer without readers? Pancakes and syrup ... if one is missing, breakfast cannot happen. 

After 27 long years of submitting my stories, I finally hit pay-dirt! So far, my publication history is one short story. However, I see this as only a beginning -- a prologue that took a quarter century. I will eat more vegetables and produce a good ending.

Further details about my writing journey are posted on the About page, where I've started a biography documenting my writing ambitions, my pursuits and my struggles. Find also my favourite things there, along with external links to other writing hubs.

Links to my portfolio stories are hanging on Completed's white wood board; feel free to send me a critique. A progress report blog for my writing is viewable on Upcoming, or follow recent submissions on Published (and find out which story made me semi-professional!).

Over on Writer's Corner are thoughts about the writing process in Writing Ruminations. Or, take a walk with me down Memory Lane by reading my 5-minute ClinTalks, where I discuss my interests outside the field of writing. My most recent and best book reviews are posted there as well.

The date I last updated those pages is noted below. ClinTalks tends to get an annual addition, while book reviews are posted monthly. Progress reports are weekly, and Writing Ruminations drop whenever the moon turns blue.

I hope you enjoy devouring my work as much as I enjoyed writing it.
