About John

Updated 01/13/2016

Hi! I am John T. M. Herres.(Pronounced HERReez)

I’m in my 50s, twice divorced, and now exploring my creative side one paragraph at a time.

On this website, I intend to post various short stories I come up with, be it for a competition or a writing prompt, or even just something I get a whim to share publicly.

In my writing, I find that I am always evolving, without even noticing. Anytime I go over a part of my Barbarian story, a part written mostly in 2010 & 2011, I almost feel like someone else wrote it. “Did I really put that down for someone else to read?”

On my blog, I try to offer anyone who visits encouragement and help for particular problems that “young” writers experience. I know I need help, so any helpful articles and web pages I find, I try to pass on because I also know I am not the only one to need it.

I also have excerpts from my WIP “The Barbarian” posted there, including a couple of sections written by using a prompt given at Rachael Ritchey‘s #BlogBattle.

Have a look around, here, there, somewhere?

Let me know your thoughts!

#WriteOn!
