Hello world. 

Thanks for visiting my site. I'm glad you found this.

This site is a sandbox for some writing ideas, but mostly it's a catalog of my thoughts in real life. I've written two children’s books, a screenplay, and a couple short stories. I'm currently working on other projects (stay tuned). Mainly, I'm just a writer looking to get better at his craft.

If you're intrigued by what you've read, feel free to contact me (marty.yan@gmail.com). I'm open for collaborations or creative projects.

Thanks for reading,

MY
