this sure is a big place! i've been looking for an outlet for my various writings for quite some time now and just yesterday slapped my forehead and said, "of course! message boards!" which is surprising i hadn't considered that in the past as i'm on a few message boards already. anyways, looking forward to this new community.

my very last class in college was a creative writing class. i was a poli sci major. i wasn't floored by how much i enjoyed it, i always enjoyed writing, what amazed me was why hadn't i at least taken a writing class earlier.

i'm writing a book currently. i have roughly 130 pages typed, but right now it's chronologically inept. my buddy compares it to seasickness. don quixote, the good soldier svejk, and catch 22 i draw inspiration from. also a great deal of steinbeck, dostoevsky, kerouac, and kesey.

have one short story finished and others in the works. there is poetry i'm proud of and i write humorous country westerns.

i would like to get published and learn guitar. i have two cats, i'm from cincinnati, ohio and i smoke cigarettes

Howdy (nikita?),

Cincy eh? I was a Poli-sci major just up the road at Miami University back in the day.

The y'all caught my eye. No doubt you see that word on your way to the airport in Kentucky (Florence Y'all Water Tower).

Love the inspirations you cite.

Anyhoo, enjoy yourself.

Well now, if it was your formative years.. :)

I once had a Prof there who said of Miami: "When a social phenomenon reaches Miami, it's pretty much a concrete indicator that the phenomenon is all but dead." lol

actually, i'm 30 right now, and these are my formative years. i hadn't a clue what i was doing in college. i haven't now, but i got me an idea

your professor was probably grasping at the quote that is often attributed to mark twain. "when the world ends, i want to be in cincinnati, because they are always 10 years behind the times."

Yeah, and the fact that Cincy is so close to Miami may be enuf to cover both with the same blanket.
