The original farmer-philosopher

**Futhark** · 10-29-2007, 04:43 AM

Okay, I may not be the original, but I am a farmer, and I do tend to wax philosophical. As long as nobody holds a copyright on the phrase, though, I'll run with it.

As far as the "about me" part goes, there's not much. Like I said before, I run a small (~110 acre) farm: goats and cattle, mostly. By day, I'm an accountant-in-training. Weekends and nights, I write. Or try to. And for vacations, I like to head out to the Great Plains during late spring and storm chase a bit. So you could say I have... ah... varied interests. (You could also say that I'm horribly confused.)

My writing interests tend toward prose fiction. I have a love of strangeness, so I tend to gravitate toward the scifi/fantasy/horror trinity, though I don't really fit into any of those camps. I also have a keen interest in graphic novels (the writing part-- I can't even draw stickmen straight).

I hope to find some kindred spirits here. From what I've read so far, this bunch looks to be my type of people: opinionated, intelligent, and (most importantly) literate.

Talk to you soon!

Oh, and one last note. I'm sure you've noticed, but I just wanted to warn you. I have an addiction: parenthetical remarks. (I can't help it; I just love them.) Ack! You see?

You've been warned.

A kindred spirit! Welcome, from another recently welcomed. I have to admit I was drawn to your entrance by the name. I'm no expert on the subject, but I surely admire that anyone these days knows what in blazes the futhark is

Kudos to you sir, and again, welcome.
