My name in Tim Cramm, and, as I am new to the list (and having read the FAQ like a good little boy), something about me... I am a doctor, sort of. Retired, actually, although only aged 27 (at least that's what the calendar says - some days I feel 50). I got through medical school and hated the actual doctoring, so I quit (thus getting none of the financial benefits of medicine while still incurring a six-figure loan debt). I wanted to write, back in college, but through many unfortunate circumstances was encouraged away from it into medicine. But now I am back. No family to speak of, no pets, no real life other than writing (which is quite a life in and of itself) and baseball (Cubs 3-1 this year - I'm already making plans for the playoffs). I have taken probably 7 or so formal fiction classes in college at one time or another (including now - I live in Iowa City and take classes at the University of Iowa), but this will be my first trip into the land of the cyber class, so please be patient. I guess that's it for now. I look forward to reading what people write and maybe even posting something of my own (if I can stop spitting on it long enough to actually do a revision). Tim (still teary-eyed from the tribute to Harry at Wrigley Field today)
