| Posted By : Mark Eller - 4/1/2008 5:33 PM | | You can blame a fellow named Colin for my being here. He mentioned this place over in Braggingrites so I came to have a look see. Anyway, I'm beat up and past those years when ear hair mysteriously appears and the optomitrist says bifocals. I think I like to write because the pay is great, but I'm still deciding on that. So far I've made forty bucks on published short stories. However, I've had a number of shorts published for free, and I have a four book series that has been accepted for publication by Swimming Kangaroo. I'm doing a podcast fantasy novel called God Wars, which can be found at The Hell Hole Tavern podcast. I'm working on another podcast of short stories that I will start in a month or so. I own six dad-blamed parrots. They make jets and cannons sound like quiet whispers in an empty room.
Come to think of it, podcasting pays nothing too. Guess I like to write just because I like to write. Guess that means I can stop seeing the psychic palm reader now.
Okay, I'm done, so I think I'll go read some of your posts now.

Anyhow, welcome! |

| Posted By : Mark Eller - 4/2/2008 2:08 PM | | Nah Firle, I live up top, in Michigan, USA. Thanks all for the welcome. |
| Posted By : RHFay - 4/2/2008 3:50 PM | Okay, I'll blame Colin. Who's Colin? What am I blaming him for? Why am I here? What's the purpose of this existence?
Anyway, welcome aboard, Mark.
By the way, right now I write mostly poetry. Don't know why. Must be for the money. Yeah, that's it.
Time to buy that castle now.
Cheers!

And, the ear hair and bifocals will blend right in with some of us. I just bought a new bra, size 36Long.
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
