Big respect to the wide and wonderful world of the Steemit community!
That opening may invoke an image of be being something of a gangsta. I can assure you I'm far from being any such thing. In fact I'm a very mature white Anglo Celtic male living in Perth< Western Australia - that's me behind the OMG sign at a Cottesloe Beach "Art By The Sea' event last year.
I happen to stumbled across Steemit after it was mentioned in a recent article in "The Economist." Being somewhat "alternative" in my thinking , I was attracted by the exciting possibility of life outside the box.
I love writing and telling stories, another reason behind my presence. Truth is it seems way to much faffing about and marketing commitment to get anything aired in the real world.. so lets see what happens here. At least here I can put out some offerings from the book and short stories ive written.
I'm a big advocate for the principles of Common Decency. It seems we are all innately blessed with such a universal skill ( just a shame not everyone observes them). I also enjoy a somewhat bizarre taste in wit and whimsy - as well as a huge appreciation for the fact that we have life on this planet - which doesn't yet seem to be the case with the many, many trillions of orbiting and stationary objects we share this Universe with.
I've come to learn , through the school of hard knocks, that less is often more. I shall therefore keep this introduction brief and see if I can even find it on here. I'm not a big user of social media products, so am on a big learning curve.. Luckily I can still learn quickly ( at least several facts every day, that oughta keep the dementia away!!)
Looking forward to reading the many and varied tapestries that have already been woven in here.
Ciao for niao, Amigos.
