heh heh, it's old and formal, and I didn't notice anyone on the latest page had used it so I took it. I'm normally not quite that old fashioned.

My name's Gary. I live in Canada. I love to write. Fantasy is my genre. Like 99% of the population, I fancy myself something of a poet. Truth is I haven't had much inspiration in that department lately, however. Didn't lose my muse, so much as it grew old and died. (Figuratively, not literally.) So I'm looking for a new one.

And that about sums up why I'm here. Hoping that by sharing my own material with others and by partaking in what creativity others have to offer, I might regain my spark. Or if not that, at least to past the time in a constructive manner.

Here's to hoping that life finds you all well, Gary.

Hi Gary--- (Greetings and salutations)—certainly is old and formal, I first heard it used by my father many years ago. I’m normally rather old if not formal.

My name is Gary. I live in Canada, were I try to write. Fantasy is definitely not one of my favorite genre, so perhaps that’s were our similarities end.

You have my best wishes, for success and I look forward to getting to know you and your work a little better.

Talk to you soon---ablelaz

Hey, Gary, welcome!

My condolences on the loss of your muse. May I suggest that you visit the poetry forums (and many others) as unemployed muses tend to be lounging around, waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting? Plus, we forum members are fun to talk to (mostly) and even when we're not, we're diverting.

Nice to have you here.

99%, eh? Jeez, I must be in the one percentile, 'cause poetry just does nothing for me. Anyway, welcome to the forum, Gary.

I'm sure I exageratted, Sam, but sometimes it seems that way.

Thanks all for the warm welcome!
