Your poem inspired this response: I hope that you don't mind.
You SHOULD care;
This ain’t no dare.
The times’ at hand to make that stand
To hold the flag of truth aloft
To stand your ground when others will not
To tell their stories to those who ...
OMg!!!! It's cherry red, no wait it's more like slap your face and scream out Arrest me Red; and it's gorgeous. The main body section is done being painted, all that remanins is to color sand with 2000 grit paper and polish! Pictures will be poste...
The Corvair is Red again!!!! We squirted color on the car Sunday evening! It is going to be an awsome car when it is finished! It will be screaming "arrest me" red. Pictures will follow soon.
Ok, so it's been a while since I have updated much of anything here; but here's the lastest "poop" on Stella (aka Wiggles)
By some miracle she and Charlie have become best buds; this alone has made life in the house a lot more manageable.

I couldn't wait to get home and share this with my wife! She is a Para pro at the local grade school working with Autisic children........she has come home so many nights banged up and beat up from these "meltdowns". I did share this with her and ...
Your President has run this country into the ground financially
I think you meant to say GW, your president.

You can "call" me anything that makes you feel "empowered", cause frankly my dear : I do not care. As far as using Your name..that's my option. But more to the point is the fact that you felt that my views are twisted truly amuses me. They say tha...
Profile Information
- How did you hear about us? Please be specific.
- Thru a friend
- How would you classify your level of writing experience?
- Intermediate
- Please list any other writer's forums you belong to
- Ok I was thinking about this and have come to the conclusion that my writing skills while are not professional I am published in a manner of speaking. You see I do write Technical manuals for use by other groups in the automotive sector. On the same topic, I am not publicly published. Make sense?
You can also find me on All Who Create, Writer's World, and Book Place.
- Please tell us (if any) your favorite writer's magazines or publications
- None
- List your specialty genre(s) OR genre(s) you are interested in (fiction, horror, etc...)
- Science Fantasy, war novels
Ok here's a leap of "faith"
Maybe you all are waiting to see what I can do? As I have said I have probably close to a 1000 pages of text from my Journal and want to try a different venue. Commentary is one thing, stories and such are a completely different stroke of the pen; I think that you'll agree.
A thought in time.
My old fashioned morals, like my old fashioned values dictate my behavior day to day.
Like my father before me I appear rough and impersonal, but more like the mollusk on the sea shore open me up and my true nature is seen.
My passion is honest and true; it burns brightly for those whom I choose to share it with, however I am quick to hide it away out of fear that I will be seen as weak. To my friends I am as loyal and true as your favorite hound; my devotion will not be easily swayed.
I do not speak openly about my convictions, but hold fast to them for they help hold me together: focused. My faith is my rock and my comfort.
I have loved and lost but that loss does not represent a chasm that cannot be crossed; for my love knows no boundaries and my memories have not yet faded with age.
My parents taught me well and my Father holds straight my course.
My journey though not newly formed, has not yet reached its end. Where I will go, who I will meet and how it will all unfold I do not know. Least it be said “WOW, what a journey.”

It's finally offical!
Yes my friends and colleagues, my youngest has taken the the first step into manhood. Well ok maybe not the first step but a damn important one! At the ripe young age of 17 My young Richard has pledged his life and service to the United States Marines Corp. He has one more year of HS then on June 14th 2010 he enters the world of pain and honor. I'd be lying to you if I said that it didn't concern me, because it does very much. I do hope and pray that the good Lord above finds favor in him and ke… Continue

Vacation, My turn!
OK so I just got through poking fun at Shai about her post "Vacation", but as for me...I AM taken the weekend off. Me n Ricky are heading up north to open our cabin up for the season. But more importantly I really need a mental vacation from all of the crap that's been going on here in Detroit! It is starting to get to me and I know that I need (badly) some down time from all of it. So I may be a bit slow on the uptake with any new questions during my absence because there is no internet availab… Continue

Ok here's a bomb shell of a question for you.........
A small voice in the back of my head is screaming at me that I REALLY do NOT want to ask this and realistically I should save it to post as a HOT SEAT question for someone! That would be mean...........hahahahaha yeah!
Anyway here goes nothing:
I claim myself as a God fearing, God loving, forgiven Christian..........and for the most part my writing is from playful side, but (and here's the question) is it wrong for a Christian to be writing stories of a dark nature? I mean like witches, warlock… Continue

- So, I got some snake oil but there's no label on it. You're my big brother so tell me - do I drink it? or am I supposed to apply it to the pained area. :) Hey, that almost sounds like a hot seat question!

Rich Wells said… - Thanks for the greeting. I see you're into science fantasy/war novels. I'm into Urban Fantasy of a violent nature. Lots of guns and explosions and blood. Don't know if that's your cup of tea or not.

Ed Kellner said… - I appreciate the welcome. I am in training for a new job this week two nights and I work full time and I am swamped. I am overwhelmed with all of the greetings and I don't feel alone. I dug out my children's book and I contacted help to illustrate it and we'll see how that plays out.

- Cabella's?! I love that place! There's a brand new one close to where I used to live in Idaho. The kids loved it! It was like a mini museum and zoo combined with all the animal displays and aquarium and stuff. My personal fave - the shooting range. :)
