I’m a crazy Canadian who likes to write. I write about what strikes my interest at the time. Might be fiction. Most often it is non-fiction.

This friend of mine @tigerlily has this persuasive way about her. You know, the kind where she’s so enthusiastic. I was going to say her enthusiasm is contagious but I guess that is a word we want to use sparingly in this uncertain times.

I met her over on Steem. Came across some of her posts when I was curating one day. Gave her a shout out cause she’s a pretty decent writer. Then a few months later she popped into a voice show I do on Discord. She tried hanging out in the corner. Took me a while to convince her, there are no corners on discord, especially in the voice channels. I could see her no matter what she did.

Eventually she was coaxed onto voice. Little did I know, there was a pirate hiding behind that unassuming screen name. I’ll let her tell you how we learned that.

So, long story short, she rounded @bluefin and I and threatened to make us walk the plank if we didn’t come and join us here. Little did she know, she didn’t need to threaten. Don’t tell her that though, she loves the pirate power.

Who am I?

At the beginning of 2020 I started an email list called Prompt A Day. When you sign up to Prompt A Day, you receive an email from me every day. It contains a group of writing ideas. You can use them any way you like. Write stories, articles, poems, do videos, draw something if you like. However the creative inspiration strikes you, do it.

I occasionally send out a bit of a newsletter with some links to what people have created and shared with me. You’re welcome to join if you like.

I Started Writing on Steem

I was writing on Steem, having joined there August 2016. Recently I moved to the hardfork Hive where most of my attention will be going forward. I hate the idea of not being Steem but I don’t trust what other bad behaviour the Steem community is going to have to put up with from Justin Sun of the Tron Foundation.

I also write on Medium. It’s an interesting site but attracts a different type of writer. They are more focused on writing and less on just having fun with writing. Uptrennd seems to be sort of like Steem, writers of all types.

I have a couple of kitties who run my life a lot. They are Tramp and Hobo. Hobo is the elder of the two. It’s a tough life being owned by cats but I manage to get by.

So, there we go, probably all you ever need to know about me.
