Not sure what introduction is appropriate, long and fascinating life (to me) love to write, compose convoluted expressions reflecting more of how my brain works, than a theoretical other. Occasionally, discover I’ve written something which leaps the gap, and is received and held dear by someone outside the convolution.
When this happens, when words make the leap, I’m extremely grateful. Enjoy the folks around here. Enjoy a community of like-minded word smiths. Am sure this will change over time depending on mood, inclination and planetary arrangements
Juris–to clear the confusion, you can see from the other introductions how well received the full, plush and rambling auto-bios are being received. It’s like we are having beers and leisurely conversation, better getting to know each other, and from whence doth the poetry spring.
Please take this in good spirit: Here is my humble request–start with 14 paragraphs on the long and fascinating life part, then 5-7 paragraphs on your love of writing, another 5-7 of you reflecting on the process of producing your remarkable convoluted expressions, and then whatever explication and elucidation you may be kind enough to offer on the totally enticing topic of “words that make the leap”.
Such an effort may operate to reduce the solar flares of your enigma-ness, if you catch my drift. And if not, please head over to Marc’s Commissary for a drift-catcher. He has several models in stock.
If you choose not to expand this, then no hard feelings at all. Then again, no free Jello shots at the TTB Saloon for a month.
Ah, indeed, such eloquent restraint as yours leaves a tantalizing void, practically begging to be filled with the baroque cascades of an over-enthused respondent! So here I stand, ready to leap into this chasm of minimalist mystery you’ve opened, prepared to lace the air with linguistic filigree, where words billow like gilded sails on a sea of convoluted prose.
I sense, alas, that you might prefer a more streamlined path—averse, perhaps, to the occasional verbal excesses that others (the company of which, I am naturally, excluded) find hard to resist. Yet, in the spirit of good-natured exchange, I take your beautifully simple introduction as an invitation to fill in the blank spaces with all manner of superfluous flourishes and imaginative contrivances regarding yourself, your history, and your present disposition—if only in my mind.
Seriously, I’m glad to meet you. I’ve really enjoyed what you’ve posted on the other site and am eager to see what you offer up next.
