Introductions

Okay, here it is --

My name is Andy Maddox. I am first and foremost a writer, and probably the most original person you will ever meet. I've been creatively weaving together stories since I was a kid, and I still do today ....

Here are a few things you should know about me:

I am an awkward skinny American unfortunately living in a part of the country where creativity and being different is often frowned upon. Seriously. My hometown can be summed up by this sentence -- a small community mostly consisting of middle-class types that are close-minded and highly conservative. And for someone like me who is a huge nonconformist, it can be considered Republican Hell as far as I'm concerned. And it probably doesn't help much to the fact that I am gay -- yeah I said it. If that offends you, I'm sorry you feel that way because all humans are built the same way on the inside and as soon as you wake up and get the point, the better. I have only told a few people that I am close to -- including the guy I am with, obviously -- haha :) ....... Where I am from, being gay is considered an illness or a problem one has to go away to get "fixed" ..... But oh well, enough about that for now...... This blog is basically for me to chronicle my attempt to reach the point in my life where I am making a living off of my craft. As soon as that happens, you'll be the first to know!

That's all for now. I'll talk later, soon ......
