You've been one of my most prolific commenters in recent months, Jud, so thanks for that!

I know what you mean about being the "social animal that doesn't like crowds". Online, I'm quite a social person, but I tend to clam up when faced with crowds of people, particularly strangers, but ever friends at times. It's one of the many anxieties that make me who I am, I guess!

As for the creative writing, I would love to get something published. Like I say, I have a story on the go in Google Docs at the moment, but I've been umming and ahhing about publishing it on a new blog. It's not finished yet, but if I put it up online for all to see and commit to updating it on a regular basis, it might actually make me get on with it. Once it's finished, I could then always look at perhaps self-publishing. Is Lulu.com still around?

I thought you might think I was a pain, or boring, or presumptuous, or too old, or too grumpy, or . . . I'll think of some more in a minute.
I'm 63, feel 73 physically but 33 mentally, married, am a singer, play the piano when I can remember how to do it, am an artist on and off, learned French at Uni but with no practice my vocab is shot to hell, did a Masters in Writing at ECU in Perth Western Australia where I live. I love music – almost all kinds, except Rap and bibop or hip hop or whatever it is called. I wrote a contemporary fantasy novel for my Masters, which I haven't published yet. I am considering doing it myself on my other website – judsjotting.wordpress.com – when I get some time off from publishing game-review blogs. Have 92 of those so far and counting. I have so many notes still do blog, but have to fit in testing new games (and writing more notes) as well as putting the info into blogs. All very time-consuming.
I love crime novels and have written some of them, and scripts as well – plus I love playing PC games, Hidden Object/Adventure games, especially the CSI series. I also like Sudoku and crossowrds, and am a whizz at jigsaws – I have the abiltity to hone in on minutiae, and am generally very observant. I'm basically everyone's 'Fun Pal to Be With'! I just adore Douglas Adams and am obviously a huge fan of Stephen Fry.
Though I am a very social animal, I have rapidly gone off crowds. If I'm not careful I might just settle down to being a Hermit.
I really enjoy your blogs, have saved quite a few, in particular all you NaNoWriMo ones. I am just waiting to hear if you have taken that novel any further – because you should! When you work out how for Pete's sake let me know so I can do so too! lol then people will stop nagging me about getting mine published.
Can you blog some more of your creative writing works please? See you tomorrow.

A fine combination of character traits.

So many of my online friends hail from 1up originally. That site has a lot to answer for. 🙂 My life would certainly be far less rich were the Squadron of Shame not involved, I know that for sure.

I'm sure we both congregated at 1up together during it's halcyon days,but I wasn't aware of you 'til I became hooked on the Squadcast.

I can sum myself in few words: father, husband, gamer, writer, optimist and general lover of pizza.

Also, you forgot to mention in the biography "capable of making it look cool to wear a traffic cone on your head". I have the photo somewhere, I could always post it 😉

I just assumed that you hated your readership.

Hallo, Keely, good to see you here. No, Andie and I haven't been to the last few tweetups for various reasons — busy, tired, bit far to come sometimes 🙂 We haven't really looked into West Country meetups as yet. Perhaps we will if we get around to it! I can't speak for Andie, but certainly a lot of my friends are still in the Southampton area, so I find myself down there intermittently.

Haven't seen you or Andie for a while, glad to hear its all going well, and that you're making a bit of progress on the job front. Joined any more Tweetups recently?
