D. A. D'Amico

I just built myself an office in the basement where I can go with my laptop to write.  I've disabled the NIC card so that I'm not tempted to surf the web and look at time wasters like facebook (sorry).  There are no evil games installed, not even solitaire.  I'm determined to have one more novel finished by next august, and I need to sell two more stories to qualify for SFWA membership.  I don't want to have the opportunity presented by my 2nd place win in the "Writers of the Future" contest go to waste.  I WILL write for a living some day.
