StoryMash Creative Storytelling Forum

Today is my StoryMash birthday. I have been here exactly one year today, 7/13/2009 - 7/13/2010. I'm still a kid compared to many of you oldtimers, but I thought it was about time I introduced myself. My name is Alan Harris. I am the father of seven and grandfather of 2 (so far). I enjoy writing poetry, short stories, and plays. Yes, I am working on my novel, which is where many of my short stories originate from. I am a hockey dad (duh) and a gymnastics dad. I have been known to coach a hockey team or two. I am a gerontologist by nature according to my grad cert. Otherwise I can be found earning a paycheck from your local medical insurance company. I plan on writing and working until the day they locate a black bag big enough to tuck me away in. I am an OWL facilitator. OWL stands for Older Writers' Laboratory. Any older writers interested in whatever that means can contact me at alharris@wayne.edu. I continue to enjoy this website, although imperfect, it is chock full of perfect friends and this site is extremely user-friendly. Kudos to Ethan, Katrina and any and all others behind the scenes. Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy SM Birthday or Happy Anniversary, Al. Whatever you want to call it, we're glad you're here!

Awww! This put a huge smile on my face.

Happy SM Birthday, Al!

Today is my StoryMash Birthday. I have been here exactly two years now, November 14, 2008 to November 14, 2010. It's been a while since my first introduction, so allow me to re-introduce myself. My name is JD. I am happily married and am the co-owner/parent to two dachshunds. I enjoy writing just about anything, though my top preferences would be in the higher imaginative fields of fantasy and science fiction. Yes, I am working on my novel and have been writing full time for three years, November 9th. I am both a martial artist and an eclectic artist. I have been known to coach young adults in TaeKwon-Do, various forms of creative art, and creative writing. I am an author, philosopher, and housewife by nature, the latter of which there is no degree or certification for. Otherwise, I can be found not earning a paycheck, unless you count SM. I plan on writing until physically or mentally unable or until the moment I finish the work I was put on this world to do and am allowed to go home.

Happy Birthday to Me! =D

Happy Birthday, JD!!!

Happy birthday JD!
