Hello from Ohio

spiralus · Sep 2, 2014

Hi Everyone

I'm an Englishman, originally from Manchester, UK but now living with my wife and two daughters in Wooster, Ohio where I'm a full time sculptor.
I'm completely new to writing, in fact the last time I wrote was probably in school back in '84! I was a pretty poor student at English so writing anything has always seemed daunting, but the older I get the more I want to do things I never have, so here I am. I love my job but just needed another creative avenue to break up my work day. Its exciting to think what I can possibly create with this new medium. Looking forward to learning lots and hopefully contributing too.

Cheers
Bill (spiralus)

Welcome and a quick statue idea which would sell like 'Fish n Chips' in NorthEastern Ohio. Lebron James!!! Just kidding but I would expect royalities if you succeed.

I'm excited to hear that you're just starting out as a writer. It's always fun to find new ways to explore your creativity. Welcome and good luck!

Nice to meet you, Bill. I've never known a sculptor before. And here I thought I was just about out of "firsts."

Maryn, glad you're here

, Bill. How're things shaping up in Ohio? I mean, are you carving out a living? Wait, this is all coming out misshapen--y'know, malformed.

Did I say :welcome:

, Bill?

Well thank you all for that very warm welcome. I'm pretty sure there must be another sculptor hiding here somewhere lol! I'm really looking forward to learning from you all

Welcome to the forum. Only the media has changed Bill. Where your hands sculpt a moment in time which suggests more, your words can give form and substance to thought pictures often for extended periods of time.

Hello fellow Ohioan! If you're ever looking for a writer to meet up for something writery going on around the state, let me know.
