It’s not much use saying average height, suffering from middle-age spread, the short brown hair is greying, and I have blue/green eyes, so here goes with everything else.
I’m warmly conversant, respectful and easy to talk to, with a depth of knowledge gained through experience and looking up random things on Wikipedia.
I’m a survivor who has faced horrors and traumas, from being abused, bullied at school, to stepping out of reality during psychosis and a manic episode, arriving at last at my bipolar diagnosis.
Catch my latest post, Forward Planning, where I’ve set down my topics for each week.
Coming on 4th August, How and Why I Became an Author.
Through the mental anguish, being passive, being bisexual, I have learnt care and compassion, a good conscience, and goodwill, nurtured now in a resolute faith that I agreed with long before I even came to church.
I’m a dreamer and a creator, an introspective and visceral writer in the last chapters of my long-running work in progress, and at the next step of my blogging journey.
And whimsical with an obscure sense of humour crafted by cartoons, books, and movies, Ren & Stimpy, The Simpsons, Monty Python, South Park, Terry Pratchett, and a fair bit from my dad, while I’m shy, I’m the secret life of the party.
And I dressed up as Darth Vader for a “Dress to Impress” work party
True story, I’ll have to dig out the photos!
A man bearing traumatic wounds and a heavy burden comes to the First Church of Creation and faces the Higher Power on his own terms.
Read my current short story, To See His Face, right here.
Well, I’m off the internet tomorrow, but you can catch my next Reel on Friday, and let you know how I’m going with my current chapter (hint: glacial movement).
Until next time,
T. M.
