I've read all of Chuck's books. I like to read and write. My favorite place is the library. I have an art degree and a law degree. My interests are very diverse. I've posted one story so far called "The Fix." And I've read scads of the stories here and have a thick stack to comment on. So far, I'm really impressed with the workshop and its members. I'm glad to be hear and am very excited to be part of this community.

Thanks for listening Smile

It's a fact that here at the Cult, at least 25% of the first four responses to a thread are lies.

New. I'm welcome too.

I am not new.

Law degree? Are you a JD? What's your alma mater? Should I check your profile rather than ask obvious questions?

Ended up in law school as part of a lark; I always finish what I start; but, god help me if I ever have to actually practice law.

Yeah. Welcome!

Keep an eye on this one. She's gonna be trouble.

I'm not going to argue semantics! Geesh. Come on, give me a chance ... but I will cause trouble, no doubt.

I don't even use words like alma mater. ;-p

Hey, someone here likes China Mieville ... I read Perdido Street Station like 7 years. I sent the copy to a Canadian bizarro writer, Vincent Sarkowski, a couple years ago.

I don't come across many who've read Mieville.

I like Mieville, and xec8 took a class TAUGHT by Mieville, for which I will forever envy him.

Hey thanks! I had so much fun at art school. You couldn't pick a better degree to nurture your soul.
