I'm new to this little forum you have here, and I just wanted to begin by giving a bit of information on ol' Aaron. I'm a illustrator/designer by trade, but I occassionally dabble in the mystical art of story tellin'. Being a firm believer that all art is connected, I find myself constantly switching between the the different forms to further myself in the other. I think we may have a conundrum here, did I mention my spelling is awful? This is my apologizing in advance. It's not my fault, my second grade teacher kicked me out of some essential grammer lessons and I never quite caught myself up... ahhhh to be young again... and a robot.

Tchuß!

Aaron,

Tschüss, you say?

I am board surfer, gliding from forum to forum, but I am hoping to have found a station I can stop at for a while.

You draw?

I have written fanfiction for a couple of years, and now I am returning to the well where my love of poetry began -- the notes I took in Modernism class have brought me here.

I have 5 posts, can I say welcome to you?

SD asks shyly.

PS. I know German and love drawing.

Welcome to you. I agree that all art is connected.

I second that...my dad paints, my sister dabbles in graphics and I like writing/poetry....yes, it is all connected link by link, chain by chain in onr form or another...

Alagomeji · 08-26-2003, 08:12 AM

Well... i dunno... i like writing,( and reading of course) but I am not so good with art, and almost hopeless with poetry. I have been known to (shamelessly?) plagiarize a poem while in the pursuit of love however, and I really liked a number of the poems in the Tolkein books, so perhaps.......

Added to say, Penelope, I would put a little drawing of mine there instead of the luscious tongue of Scully and the delectable features of Mulder, but the damn things are too big to be avatars....

will I be censored for the use of 'damn¨?

Eeep.

Welcome!
I'm lousy at painting and that sort of art. I write a lot and am a rock musician (retired or very tired or whatever), but the way I do that is not anything approaching art, if Flo can be believed ... OUCH! That HURT!

Hello and Welcome!

I agree all art is connected...I just wish I could do a little better in drawing department. I did the cover for my book, my avatar(don't laugh)! The worst part is my husband is a fantastic artist who couldn't find the time to lend me a hand. A friend of mine since the age of 7 is also a wonderful artist...who feels his work is not worthy to be seen, so I had to put something on the cover. I look at it this way, if your creative, it's gonna come out no matter what form. *maitaman, I am a musician also! small world. I played lead guitar in a rock band for 5 years...and classical flute and piccolo for 10...now I am attempting the violin.

scryer,

you are multi-talented...WOW

I sing for my own benefit, as I do guitar playing, drawing. Why I have decided to show others my writing, I have no clue.

Art

Art is often fart
Art is sometimes smart

but most of all
Art is Art

Ok, I guess I am going to spend alot of time making excuses for my impulsive personality...*maitman, looks like I have changed your name! sorry cdm.

scryer · 09-04-2003, 01:39 PM

Hi SD,

I didn't say I was good at all of those things(ha,ha,ha)

I just have to do as much as I can, learn all I can, be all that I can be...maybe I belong in the army reserves.

On a serious note, classical music was my forte', guitar and vocals were an adolecent scream for attention, my band did well, local clubs etc. The botom line is my writing, I have always been a writer at heart....maybe you have chosen to show your writing to others because what you think needs to be heard.

cdm · 09-04-2003, 06:20 PM

Lots of writers want to be musicians. Dave Barry, Spielberg, etc. formed a band, and they're pretty good. I went the other way, a musician who wanted to be a writer (OK. Honestly, I was mostly heavy metal, but at 65 I look ludicrous onstage. There are a couple of pictures of me on my website when I was performing (All that HAIR! Wish I still had that much!) and one recent. I just don't tell anyone how to get there from the home page, but there IS a way!) I played with a biggie or two, but was never any big deal on my own. I have a "pleasant but nothing" voice, which would be good for jazz, but isn't grouly enough for heavy rock.

I am good with the guitar, even if I am slowing down a bit.

There's a recent picture on the author blurbs at http://surprisingstories.dcwi.com
I have a story in the mag. You can check it out. the mag's really 'way above average.

scryer · 09-04-2003, 06:58 PM

Which writer at this link is you?

cdm · 09-04-2003, 10:14 PM

I'm C. D. Moulton. There's a story there that is in the latest Flight of the Maita book (#45) -- but eNovel went belly-up today, so I don't know when it'll get published. My own website is http://www.maitaman.com
