About BrianJMcShane
Forgive the formality of a middle inital. It seems another user has my name already registered. I am a current student of RMU's Professional and Technical Writing program. I graduated from Ocean County College (NJ) in 2009 with an associate's degree in Liberal Arts. This degree program is an attempt to reconcile interests between writing and literature and technical things like computers and coding.

On Writing
While the ultimate dream is to write independently AND lucratively, necessity dictates some kind of degree in the likely event this does not go as planned. School seems a likelier candidate than lottery tickets.

On Technology
Despite being woefully out of practice, I spent two years in high school coding. I learned QBASIC, C++, and HTML. I can write code but cannot do math. Go figure...

Other Plans
I have played guitar since I was thirteen. I have been in two "steady" bands since then: once as a bass player and another as a keyboard player. One day I'd like to play my actual instrument in a band, rather than "faking" another one.
