@davidjvowell Hello
I suspect that means you use your time more wisely than I, nevertheless, I welcome your interaction with the forum as I think its a wonderful community and communities are built one voice at a time!
"...your motivations for wanting to write are probably complex. You may have a few great passions, you may want to be rich and famous, and you may need therapy."

@gideonpsmith I will make the attempt later today to draft something by way of an introduction and post it.
Hello everyone,
My name is Patrick MacPhee. I write a mix of SF and fantasy. I've lurked this forum occasionally over the years, but I'm not normally one to post.
After a few entries, I was lucky enough to win a first place finish (4th Quarter, Issue 41). Moving forward, I hope to get advice on writing and to give advice if it's wanted.
Patrick
