Hello...,
I've been writing for most of my life...not necessarily well, but trying. Broadcasting and radio journalism was the way I made my living...that and teaching. Prior to that I was a radio correspondent in the USMC....diddled at the piano and tried to be a good observer and participator. I hope to contribute a little here...both in show and tell. Please feel free to exchange ideas.
Looking forward.
By the way...should anyone be interested I've got a web page.... It can be accessed by:
www.gaazerier.com (For those who may have tried this and failed...it's back in business now! Worth the trip! Thanks.)

    Hey, I gather that you were acquainted with Catriona Anastasia Everest Cutter, username Aesca. I'm sorry to say that she died in the spring. She was hit by a drunk truck driver and was killed instantly. If you know of any other friends of hers, could you let them know? Thanks.
  • Dante Skylock on September 21
    No, no. Wait. I read the book and I liked it. I commented on it and gave it 3 appluds, but they said I didn't have that so I guess the comment didn't go through. Sorry about that. But the story was awesome.

    Yo, just wandering along. Read somewhere on your profile that you taught? Are we talking teenagers or teaching in something totally different? Cos I have to say, you would be a kick ass teacher in a high school if you were!

    If one thing I lacked during my schooling years, it was the lack of a teacher who could spin a funny story as well as learn off them, a personality as so to speak! Oh well, hope you're having a wicked day!
