About Me

An American Writer is a universalist, a total fool, an uncompromisable spirit of the sport we compose of our lives, a self-guided literate and literal loving cupid, a tank running through the streets of the gray matter only to be shot down by the mis-firings of our neurons while promising the mediocre existence of our self doubts will disappear when a word is sparked into an idea which was placed in our heads by the untouchable market of literary farmers.An American Writer is me.An American Writer is you.An American Writer is anyone who has ever picked up that sharp-mind-enhancing tool out of their desk drawer and said..."today is the day I shall put my thoughts into an enchantment of a's-b's-c's connecting letters to words to sentences to paragraphs and eventually into the worlds living only inside my head."
