In short

  • Neurotic, obsessive, multi-racial nerd here to learn and hone the craft and help how I can. 

    My WTF? projects are the best way to learn more about me and my WEbook friends.

  • I've taken a bullet for a president. I know pi to 5,021 places. I'm fluent in 17 languages. I am thisclose to releasing my findings on a cure for cancer. I time travel. And I *never* lie. 

    **For those requesting assistance and reviews:
    1.  I am not qualified to review poetry.  I'm sorry, it's just not my forte.
    2.  Be sure I'm the kind of writer you want feedback from.  You can do that by visiting my projects.  This is simple courtesy, since I'm not a professional reader.
    3.  I'm an intensive, ho-holds-barred, unmerciful reviewer.  I may not give reviews for you as a person, since I don't know everyone personally, but I do it for the sake of preserving the art.  If I don't give feedback at all, it's because your work is hard for me to read.  Bad grammar, punctuation, and copious misspellings will turn me off immediately.  If I do give feedback, the point of it is to make your work more readable and get you published.**
