Why I became a Local Guide

I enjoy writing, and I like sharing, especially when it can save someone else from some idiocy I just committed. When I find Beauty, I like to share that, too.

I feel that it is more important to seek similarities than differences, more productive to seek the good in people than to point out their failings.

This is a wonderful forum to that end. Thank you.

As for me - I am a pedantic perfectionist who is rarely satisfied with anything I create. I have had instructors and peers alike use (I feel) unearned superlatives regarding my poetry and short stories, prompting me to make a few attempts at fiction, but I am much better at starting books than finishing them.

I live in the mountains of central California, 20 minutes from the ocean.

I am surrounded by incredible Beauty, and it’s just wrong not to acknowledge and share.

I have always enjoyed helping people and sharing with friends.

Clearly, I have come to the right place.

Hi @StarArcher1960 ,

You’re amazing. Nice having you here. I’m a bookie myself!

Thank you, sir.

I am off to a pretty slow start. Your kind words are most helpful.

I appreciate you taking the time to make me feel welcome.

Felicitations.
