Christopher Wright
Sage
Hello!
A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a podcast called "The Roundtable Podcast" that I began listening to fairly regularly... and as I did, one of the emcees[1] continued to mention this forum as a place that a) he regularly frequented and b) thought highly of.[2] Since the discussions on the podcast were good ones[3] I decided his judgement had a fair chance of being sound, so I wandered over here looked the place over, and decided to register.
Registration was challenging[4] but ultimately successful. So here I am!
Which leads me back to my original comment: Hello![5]
My name is Christopher Wright, which communicates nothing because it is one of the most common names in the Western World.[6] I'm here because I like writing and have been doing quite a bit of it of late, and this looks like a neat community in that regard.
Hopefully after five posts I will prove I'm not spam. But I don't always test well...

[1]Or whatever the podcasting equivalent term for emcee is.
[2]Or thought of highly. I fear I may be the "please use proper grammar" rule problem child. Hopefully I adapt before the axe is brought solidly down on my virtual neck.
[3]Which isn't to say that I always agreed with everything that was said, because I am ornery and strong willed, just like everyone else on the Internet. But discussions that don't provoke disagreement aren't actually discussions. They generally involve a bunch of people sitting around a table while someone reads the dictionary out loud.
[4]The registration page kept trying to convince me to link my Facebook account to this forum account, and when I left that information blank, it auto-populated some of the fields with someone else's information, then informed me that the account was already owned by a member. It wasn't until after I pondered my fate on Twitter that it automatically corrected itself. My takeaway from this is "Twitter can solve all your problems."
[5]Redundancy is a valid literary device, and I will resist any suggestions that redundancy is not a valid literary device, because redundancy is a valid literary device.
[6]It is slightly more useful to note that I am not Christopher Wright, the guy on Amazon who has a lot of Kindle books about Biblical Scholarship, nor am I Christopher Wright, the guy on Goodreads who has a lot of books about Art History. But only slightly.
