monkey writer bio
I was once a beaten quarter finalist in a seaside cheese measuring competition.

I used to live in London, but decided to move after an army of vigilante squirrels invaded it, just as I was singing it to sleep.

I console myself in my arboreal rodent enforced exile by writing short stories, poetry, sketches, a blog and contributions to this site. I’m also writing a novel, which you can find out about at Zobeland.com. Although publication on any major scale has eluded me thus far, I hold out hope that writing will, one day, become my day job and I can drive the squirrels back from whence they came.

Glad you've got it figured out -- great snippets so far. :)




3:08PM EST   Dec 5th, 2008 — by Mikoto Yokoshima
You're very welcome in both senses of the word. XD I look forward to attempt in reading your snippets and someday your tree, which you will probably have before me. XD

Activity, I think. There's something about that on the about page. I think new members may be 181 by default at this point. Must be a SQL error.




11:06AM EST   Dec 5th, 2008 — by Jake Svercek
Oh yeah definitely. I've set up marketing campaigns for people before, and viral marketing is definitely both cheap and effective. It appears that we are both #181. I am not sure what to make of this.

Your writing 'Voice' is very strong. I am impressed in the ways you nimbly guide the words along until you have crafted such wonderful sentences and snippets. Well done! I am saddened, however, by your heartbreaking Bio... Damn squirrels!




9:36AM EST   Dec 1st, 2008 — by Alex Annesty
Thanks for the welcome, Mikoto Yokoshima and Fullmoonblue. I'm really looking forward to adding some snippets and, eventually, planting a few of my own.




9:29AM EST   Dec 1st, 2008 — by Alex Annesty
Fancy indeed Jake. It would appear that 1,000,000 Monkeys promotional link on your website - which I visited after you posted a review over at WritersCafe - did the trick. Viral marketing is a wonderful thing.

Greetings!




12:39AM EST   Dec 1st, 2008 — by Jake Svercek
Fancy meeting you here, Alex. Welcome to the site.




6:23PM EST   Nov 30th, 2008 — by Mikoto Yokoshima
Hajimemashite. Mikoto Yokoshima desu. Yoroshiku. Welcome to the site Annesty-san. Hope to see you around... Nice bio by the way. XD Ja, mata.
