: About Me

Basically, I'm a househusband for now. My wife got me to start writing again a few short years ago. Before that I'd only dabbled in serious poems and stories, and those were a bit too much on the teen angst side of the spectrum.

Someone gave me a bad review saying, "This line is too Cliche-like." Like any writer, I got mad. Instead of lashing out, I wrote a short story almost completely in cliches. Ironically, I won fifty dollars and a publishing contract for that story. From that point on, I wrote mostly humor and satire.

If it can be made fun of, I can probably do it. I'd add some of my humorous poetry and short stories if there was a section to do so.
