Please write a book about your life
Thank you, and you're not the first person to say you've enjoyed my writing. I do like to think I've had some interesting experiences and that I have a certain knack for storytelling.
I tend to consider myself more of a storyteller or conversationalist than an author though. Sitting down to write a book that maybe someone somewhere will someday read doesn't really appeal to me, and I don't think my stories necessarily hold up as well on their own without the support of a conversation around them, to some extent I'm usually crafting how I tell stories as a response to something someone said or asked.
But if you do enjoy what I have to say and how I say it, by all means creep on my profile here a bit, I won't pretend everything there is gold, but there's a couple things mixed in I'm a little bit proud of. This is pretty much the only place you're going to find me online.
EDIT: Lemmy search is terrible, so good luck finding anything, but for a couple highlights, somewhere in my comment history I have a short history of the Falkland Islands that I'm pretty proud of, a few interesting stories from my job as a 911 dispatcher as well as a long rant about alarm companies that some people seemed to have enjoyed, and a lot of thoughts about life, the universe, and everything.
So, I must tell you, you speak as fluently as my father did. He told stories but he told them in poems. I love the differences in those two types of stories. Good job!!
