Hello! I'm Steven Dowdle, and I am an aspiring author, as well as a teacher, husband, father, video gamer, Bardolator, dinosaur enthusiast, Muggle quidditch player, and a host of other things. Thanks for dropping by. Feel free to email me or follow me on Twitter (@mrdowdle) and we can chat.

Writings
If you're interested in the different stories I am working on, check out the Projects page. Brainstorms and statuses on my writings can be found there, as well as brief synopses of completed novels.
Writing Tips
Yes, we've all heard the joke: "Those who can, do; those who can't, teach." I love teaching and have done so for many years, so you'll find some handy tips, links to worthwhile sites, and some ideas for how to write better.
Blog-type Stuff
Aside from work, there are a lot of hobbies and things I enjoy. This eclectic mix includes the growing sport of Muggle quidditch, scholarship on William Shakespeare and John Milton, as well as cool new things I learn about dinosaurs. Whatever strikes my fancy that isn't related to writing or books I've written can be found here. Additionally, I posted the entire rough draft, as I wrote it, on my NaNoWriMo blog. You can see what it's like to have a rough draft hammered out over the course of a month, in case you're into that sort of thing. So you know, it's in reverse order--oldest is the first chapter. Each chapter is logged under the "NaNoWriMo" tag, so it's easy to sort.
