Al-dente. My name is Ally, I live in Jersey ('Old' Jersey between England & France, not NJ). been trying to write for maybe 9 months now, but i need to broaden my knowledge and technique. I work in banking - i don't want to work in banking - so i hope to learn some things here to help me change direction, maybe become one of those starving artists that seem to live such happy lives.
