As is typical for a writer, I have tendency to droan on and on without a clear idea of where to stop BUT for this essay I am going to rein in my verbal stampede. I am a man, NOT a homo or metro sexual. NOT even fashionable or chic, BUT also not the typical guy. I hate beer and don't drink at all, I don't like to watch sports. There isn't a competitive gene in my DNA code. I love to dance ( BUT health and fitness reasons hamper it at the moment ) I am HIGHLY sexual and affectionate and like to TRULY, deeply connect with friends, family and lovers. I am a college educated nearly-single parent of an 8 yr old boy and a 42 year old woman ( my ex-wife-in-process ) and am battling to get my house repaired, packed up and sold so that my son and I can move to a new home and start a new life. BUT the Ex-Mrs.-in-Process tends to cause delaying and obstacles to this.
I am also in combat against my A.D.D. and O.C.D.
My new life would ideally include an acreage with a shop and outbuildings, a bigger and functional kitchen and a room dedicated to only writing and online pursuits. Also it needs to have PLENTY of storage space. It would be in my old high school, school district ( at least for now ) so that my son can attend a good but not overly LARGE school while living close to grandparents and cousins. .
IF there was space on this acreage I would love to dismantle and move then reassemble some old farm buildings on the property and eventually convert them to residential and sole commercial uses. ( for ex. a barn for a house and an oak drive through corn crib as a shop space )
This may be a pipe dream BUT ya have to have goals to strive for in life. I will be adding to this essay as time passes, BUT for now that should start your journey to the guy that is me.
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:
support , friendships, possible writing opportunities, hell, who knows, maybe even a second wife.

A friend of mine who works in law enforcement said something about it being illegal to leave children under the age of 13 home alone without adult supervision. I don't know if she meant in the state where she lives or the state where I live, I will have to ask her. I am sure the laws very from state to state.
