Hi. I'm Mike, and I'm a ...

Oops, wrong forum.

My name is Mike, and I write. Not well or famously, but writing seems to be such an easy way to make lots of money doing so little. So, I thought I'd give it a try.

After a very short stint writing I've made the following discoveries:

  • Bullets belong in guns, not lists
  • Adverbs are muchly overrated
  • Most things children do most adults cannot do nearly as well
  • Chocolate is a basic food group


I'm currently working on my second critically acclaimed, best selling, great American novel. The first one was a bit more difficult than I thought it would be and figured having the experience would make the second one much easier.

Aren't you glad you got to meet me?

I am glad I met you! I've already begun dropping your name into casual conversations. That way, when you become famous, I'll have instant minor status as a hanger-on. "Oh, you like Mike L? Yeah, great guy, and those books, wow. Me and Mike go way, way back."

Maryn, who's already convinced herself of your future greatness--and welcome!

Hey there Mike and welcome!

Writing is a good way to make a bit of extra dough, but my advice is to do it cause you love the craft more than the green...that being said, you could get fortunate and be able to keep the lights on with your words!

Have fun and I hope we bump into each other around here ^^
