Bad poetry comes from genuine emotion. To be natural is to be obvious; to be obvious is to be inartistic.

My name is Mike Moccio, M.Moccio for my username!
My age is 19.
My birthday is 2/26/94.
I'm male.

My life's ambition is to become a writer and to write the next great American novel! Of course, it'll be better than stuffy ol' Huck Finn D:! Well, probably not, but I CAN DREAM, right? Anyway, writing is my life, and I plan to do it for my life. I've had a couple of projects at fanfiction, but I've decided that if I'm going to get serious, I should do so now and practice. Anyway, that's all you really need to know about me, I guess.

That was written about 3 years or so ago. A very long time, in any event. I like to think I've changed since then, but who knows for sure? Right now, I'm nineteen years old and attend Emerson College for Writing, Literature, and Publishing (WLP). I'm sure my past self would have been thrilled to know what he's doing now. My interests are still the same--reading, writing--but my career goals have somewhat changed. Although I'm very passionate about writing, I've found that, alone, I'm not as capable as I am when functioning with a team, which is why I'd one day like to work at DC Comics, in whatever capacity that would allow me to sit all the staff in the room, hash out all the issues, bring fans into the creative process, and actively shape DC Comics' products into stories worth reading and stories poignant and strong enough to impact someone's life in a positive, significant way.

Also, when reading my stories, PLEASE review. This writing fanfiction is partly about determining whether or not I can write compelling fiction. Any kind of review is welcome, even flaming, as long as it's constructive. I appreciate any and all comments:
