About the new forum member Milhouse20XX

I'm not an established writer, self published writer or even an aspiring writer. I consider myself is a rare specimen known as the unwilling writer. Writing is neither a talent nor the result of hard work. Writing, by my definition can be achieved by anyone with a writing apparatus and a basic command of the English language.

I was blessed with a talent for writing being encoded into his genetic sequence. However, I had little interest in pursuing a writing career. As a consequence, my life up to this point has been a domino chain of epic failures, bitter disappointments and crushing defeats in various endeavours to forge a life of success. After 34 years, there was nothing to show for my life except a string a labels including failed actor, failed film director, failed wrestling promoter, failed entrepeneur, failed gridiron player and failed event organiser.

To this day, I'm reminded of my inability to be successful through the mocking laughter and humiliation of his peers. At this point I concluded that God was engineering these events until I finally cracked and became a writer or a I finally decided that writing was the lesser of two evils as the priesthood meant no longer getting laid and a pay check that a 15 year old McDonalds employee would find insulting.

Despite my own failures, I've always celebrated the success of his peers. Being happy for the success of others is great for inspiration and well being. Being jealous of successful people is asinine and waste of energy. Writing has become my elephant in the room. While my peers have found their niche in life, the writing elephant continues to make its presence felt in my own. I've often wondered if God dropped the ball when it came to giving me his talent.

I've joined this forum in a desperate chance to find redemption for my less-than-stellar life. by reading about the success stories of my fellow warriors, I hope this will help me regain the hope and ambition that's become a broken part of who I am.
