Introduction
Novelist and lunatic, currently searching the cold and empty void between stars in search of a literary agent. Tired of working in a vacuum, would love to share this hellish nightmare of pen and paper with other likeminded troublemakers.
What do you like about writing?
Have been writing since I was a baby foetus and have every intention of doing so professionally, if only such an opportunity would arise. Ideally I'd like to spread peace and undertanding. Either that or destroy reality. One of those.
What Colin Reid is saying about this Meetup Group
Because the shadow government will get you if you don't.
You must be signed in to post a Greeting.
