Default Any writers?

So... I've got that bug again. An idea popped into my head and won't go away. We'll see if I actually do anything with it this time...

I'm writing a story about vampires that glitter in the sunlight. This old vampire, trapped in the body of a young man, will seduce and rape a teenaged school girl.

Maybe we can help each other in the editing process.

I write in a style best described as post-modern neo-classical.

Sadly, most of my readers do not appreciate the subtly and richness of this style, simply saying "JUST WRITE THE DAMN VALUATION REPORT!"

I've been writing since I was a child. Sometimes I use a pen, sometimes pencil, sometimes crayon. If you need advice on letters and stuff, I'm your man.

Write short stories once in a blue moon. Writing a novel or at least a few more short stories is on the to-do list, but finishing exams probably needs to happen first. Hopefully that'll be done this time next year....
