Creative Writing what would your bio be called?

Mine would be the Marvellous Defeat
Actually I stole that from the last war novel Sven Hassel was supposed to write before he crooked - sadly he instructed that the notes were to be destroyed.

I was defeated by companies like Asus and Apple and of course got badly burned in the eircone shares debacle.

Memories of a Sporting Man. There wouldn't be much text as I was never much of a sporting man. But mainly photos of me in various heroic poses while clad in the clothes of a licentious Greek God :D

That's a good question. I'll have to muse on it. 🙂

"The Incoherent Ramblings of an Accidental Hermit" coz I've had plenty of "stuff" happen in my life, but am unlikely ever to devote enough time or energy to making any kind of a narrative text out of it.

I've got as far as the childhood installment -
"Yer Bladder Is Too Close To Yer Eyeballs". Something my father used to say to me regularly and in fairness I was an easily moved child.

I am thinking the teenage to early twenties installment may have to be called "An Innocent Eegit Let Loose".
