Hey Blitz, the pleasure's all mine. Not much to tell about me. I'm 35, born and raised in Detroit, MI and thankfully soon to return but for now I'm living in Katy, TX. I'm a writer/entrepreneur by profession and like many in the starving artist field I am indeed on the path to publishing my first series of books of the sci-fi/fantasy genre. Mainly I just keep to myself. My friends were the ones who gave me the nickname Dexterous as a sort of personal joke between us. When I asked them why the name Dexterous the explanation given was pretty spot on thus I kept the monicker. What of yourself Blitz, what's your tale? Not much to tell about me, either. I'm 15 and live in the sunshine state. (FL) I have three older brothers that are all in college. I have a dog, and I'm a year round runner. I'm interested in reading, writing (Hey we're similiar!), gaming, modding, and cars. I got this surname, Blitz, because for a while I went with a group of buddies and played paintball pretty often. We liked to rush early a lot so other common-goers started calling us the "Blitzkriegers." Burns is my nickname at school already. So I was "Blitzburns" for a while. (While others would similiarly be called "Blitznik, Blitzdawg, and Blitzman,") Like you, my dream job is to be an author. If your books ever get published make a post, I'd gladly pick a copy up. Likewise, if you just feel like sharing your stories with someone I'm always open for more fantasy/Sci-Fi. As my sig shows, I just finished reading the Iliad, Odyssey, and Aeneid (Fagles translation ftw.) and loved it. Now I am reading the Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelanzy. Also, Like you I recently joined this website a few weeks back after being a lurker for around six months. When I realized I was spending more and more time on these forums, I decided to make an account and get my face around. I plan on getting a gaming computer from my brother (He builds computers) and joining a mod team for New Vegas as a voice actor/ storywriter, and then learn how to script and model to help make new weapons. Nice to meet you.
