RE: About Me - The Many Faces of a Weird Writer
Thank you very much.
I got into weird fiction after the military. It might have been a reaction to the upswing in nationalism that has driven our "any war is a good war" mentality. The rebel in me, I suppose.
What got me into the military was an overbearing and verbally abusive father I wanted to get away from. It was a positive experience, for the most part--the first enlistment. I joined the National Guard because I remembered what a positive experience my regular Army days were, but I didn't want to do it again. I was building a career at that point and just wanted to serve my local and state communities. A huge miscalculation.
Yeah, the Hound of Heaven. He always gets his man. :-)
You are most welcome!
Ahh that makes perfect sense; I'm sure you've moved well beyond it, but I'm sorry for your dealings with your father. And yes, the National Guard, serving local and state; a shocking miscalculation I'm sure.
That's awesome. I've never heard that before, but it's very fitting :)
He's tamed quite a bit in recent years. One learns to cope.
The Hound of Heaven
Age will do that. And yes, coping is all we can often do.
The Hound of Heaven ! Thank you; I've never heard of that before, but I loved it!! :)
