Hey, how's tricks?

Rainy Day Boo · Sep 1, 2020

Hello Cooler peeps, I'm mad about reading 'n' writing and hoping to find like minded folk here - and develop my writing too.

Really wide taste in books, from the poetry of DIY to the horror of self-help plus magic AND realism AND classics AND Hemingway if he's not yet classic, to Rumi and beyond...

Really wide taste in music and movies too, and art.

Really narrow taste in people

I only like humans (plus obviously cats, bears, dolphin shaped swimming things, wood nymphs, benevolent aliens who share their tech, untethered spirits, etc.)

I've got a whole novel ready for the pulitzer guys (taps foot, looks at watch), lots of dodgy poetry, and a growing collection of festering shorts (stories, but laundry too if anyone has a moment

)

Don't know if I have any particular knowledge sets to offer other writers, but happy to share what I got - wines of the Loire, South East Asian martial arts, calligraphy...

So yeah, hi!

So . . . not much goin' on, huh, Rainy Day? Well, :welcome:

, anyway. I'm sure some peeps here will help you outta your reading 'n' writing doldrums.

If it helps, I'm close enough to big-city Oregon riots to translate protests into Canadian for you:

Thanks for the welcome notes - and translation, Chase! I'll have you know that the kind of extremist Canadian radical in your picture is extremely rare
