Twenty years later, I was tired of a corporate life and chose to get back into writing. I joined a local comedy troupe.

And I wrote.

Writing sketches is a lot of fun. Watching the skits you've written come to life through the actors on stage is amazing. I was hooked instantly, but unfortunately the troupe wasn't able to continue performing.

I'm still a bit internally conflicted about my newest short story (FotoGone: A Very Bad App)- it's a character who's so different from me that writing a few parts actually bothered me on a visceral level.
