Words Get Under Your Skin Like Needles, so Let Me be the Doctor

About Me

The Pen:
I'm a writer and pretty proud of that. I'm currently working on getting a novel, From These Letters, published. I'm the founder and sole writer for a writer's email-newsletter called Safety Pins and Rubber Bands. I'm working on one novel and a novella. You can find out all about that in my journal. I've wrote somewhere between 12-15 good novels in my life, and this is the second I'm trying for publication.

The Music:
I can play the clarinet, but my real joy is my two babies: Charlie and Clive. Charlie's my acoustic guitar. He's a Jasmine by Takamine. Clive's a Greg Bennett design for Samick music with a black body and white pick guard. I have a very tiny red Roland amp, which puts out a lot of sound. I'me working on maybe putting out something like an EP on my own, but I'm also learning other people's music: Green Day, MCR, TAI...Just about everyband I listen to.

The Jewelry:
I also make jewelry and the line's called charliexclive, named after my guitars! I'm been meaning to put up and online site, but I haven't got around to it yet. One of these days, maybe.
