Paul Scott

Hey. I'm Paul. I'm best known for being the antisocial guy that occasionally writes stuff and somehow makes enough money to support a family with a super-awesome house and actual, non-microwaveable food on the table (well, okay, sometimes microwaveable food, too).

I was born in the Seattle area and lived there until I was 5 when I moved to a little backwoods hick town called Midway. It's here that I developed my love of all things time-wasting – movies, music and video games.

I fell in with a bad crowd – three of the coolest geeks one could ever have the privilege of meeting. My mother and father told me they would have preferred I'd fallen in with "drug addicts and criminals than these losers." Those are my parents' words, not mine guys, so don't hate me.

I've followed my career through fast food, telephone customer service, a pyramid scheme from which I actually made money...(not the millions they'd promised me but enough to pay the bills), a car wash (that lasted a day in the middle of July), and here I stand at my dream...writing.

True, it's not the glamorous type of writing where I release more novels than Stephen King while sipping lemonade on the deck of one of my many luxurious cabins on the lake and discussing the current politics and religious debates with Dan Brown, Chuck Palahniuk, Neil Gaiman, James Patterson and the ghost of William Shakespeare, and waiting for the Hollywood Producer to call me back and let me know that he's wired the $10 billion to my bank account and they'd love to turn my next novel into a movie as well...but life can't always be what we want it to be.

Instead, I fell into the business side of writing – at least for the time being. I'm really more of a storyteller and gypsy than I am any job title in particular. I do what I want to do when I want to do it. I believe that if you're not passionate about what you're doing, it's time to move on to something else. How can one succeed if one doesn't love the work that one does?

I've got nothing else to say for now so I'm just going to shamelessly promote myself right here:
