8/1/12: Recently returned from a long hiatus (thank you, higher education). While I was away, I wrote (and completed!) Much Ado About Nothing, a humorous tale involving a desperate Draco and heroic Hermione. Don't worry, Evan's Naughy Book will enjoy a much deserved dust-off rather soon.

Every story I have written is a piece of me. Most are flawed, some are juvenile, and all need a bit of buffing, but each inherently belongs to me. If I could breathe words instead of oxygen, I would. Although, I would imagine that breathing words isn't as comfortable as inhaling air.

The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.
