For most of my life people have told me I was full of shit. Extrapolating that concept and smelling under my armpit, I figure they meant bullshit. To me, bullshit means imagination, which translates to fiction writer. Which is why, upon retiring, I took up writing. I'm 68 years old and have had a number of careers, such as army, police work, cook, computer work, and many odd jobs as a kid. In my youth, I traveled extensively, also in the military. I've taken lives, government sanctified of course ... and saved a few. I've sold a few stories and won a few smaller contests, making a small amount of money, as well as letting some sites publish me for free. I figure it's good to have my name out there. My best friend is another writer, a virtual rat named Oscar Rat, whom also has had a little success, although he calls himself a famous rat writer and I go along with the gag. Oscar writes only rat oriented stories where the rat wins in the end.
