er, Hi. (not the most imaginative subject)

Hi,

I'm Mike (obviously).
I've been writing for about 5 years, tho I have great difficulty getting off of my a*** and sitting on my a*** and actually writing stuff.

I wanted to write the next great American novel, then i realised I was British and that kinda ruled me out So I settled for writing my other idea, which has alternatively been described as surreal comedy sci-fi ro complete and utter drivel.

So that's me.

PS, I love internet forums, they're a great excuse to not do any work.

Welcome Mike. you're going to love it here! As far as your writing style, if it is drivel as you say, at least it will be unique drivel!! you'll blend right in.
