This introduction is by special request and it's brought to you in part by Randall, Dean, and Scott--the voices inside my head who never stop arguing. I was introduced to this site by Father Luke and because I enjoy reading his work, I thought what the hell. Let's see what this Literary Mary is all about. So far I like what I see. The honesty. Some of the work. The vulnerability. But this is suppose to be an introduction so back to this Randall guy. I'm 36 years old but I've lived the life of a sixty year old and my inner child is on life support. My writing is often an inter-monologue and putting the words on the page has a better outcome than a bullet in the brain. Some write for money or fame. I do it because it's my only weapon against dying. Death will win someday but for now I write to keep it at a distance. There isn't much to introduce. I inch through the days like anyone else eating, shitting, and dying. I struggle with writing about myself but I believe that one can get a sense of who I am or who I am not by reading my work. If you have any questions, ask. I'll answer anything. Thanks for letting me hang. |

suppose/supposed? inter-monologue/inner-monologue? words on page better outcome than bullet to the brain-huge assumption (if you choose to validate with direct experience use .45. 9mm results have disappointed many. Okay, okay-.357 works well also but they are very noisy) meantime, keep writing, keep posting and run your mouth off at any and everyone's stuff you wanna it helps Welcome to the workshop Nick |

Would it have been worth while,
To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
To have squeezed the universe into a ball
To roll it toward some overwhelming question
To say: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead,
Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"
T.S. Eliot

suppose/supposed?
inter-monologue/inner-monologue?
Good catch. That's what happens when I type before the coffee is finished brewing. This workshop is already beginning to pay off! Thanks.  Crazy week of work. Will try to spend some time here this week. |

Hmmm, seems like I may as well hold off on advising you regarding efficient muzzle placement. Write? |

randaldeanscott, beautifully said. i think we all fight against death through writing--or insanity. my firm belief--despite many probably arguing against--is that we are one of the sanest people in the world. don't you think? don't you think we, having the ability to release demons out of their cages before they eat out our brains, are the sanest? with that wonderful introduction, i'll be looking out for your stuff. toodles. by the by, I've been in my 30s for a long time--despite only being 21  |
