At 61 years of age, I don't have as great a luxury of time to experiment with things as I did when I was 21. Because of that, I tend to see involvements and experiences that yield results on a less protracted timeline. For those criteria, and others, I decided to join Mythic Scribes in the...

To Legendary Sidekick, Hiya! Ogunquit is WAY south of where we are - we're up the coast about midway in a town called Belfast, on Penobscot Bay. It's a good whale-watching area with seals and the occasional shark (likely out for a swim after closing their attorney's offices for the day, I...

LOVE the intro! I'm a newbie, joined today and YOURS is the first post I've read... Yep, I think I'll like this place! :cool:

Hiya! I've long been a reader of fantasy works, starting with Tolkien, lo those many years ago and many other authors including H.P. Lovecraft and Steven King, although these latter two authors scared the living bejesus out of me! Read 'The Shining' in one night, up in Hanover, N.H. - my ex...
