I am an open-minded person. I am educated (MA English). I'm working on a novel. I've published short stories and poetry. I'm recently divorced. I really am, for now, more interested in friendship than a dating relationship. (I'm editing my profile--this is new info.) I worked for the SSA for many years. With the breakup of my marriage I thought I'd do the one thing I'd always wanted to do: write a novel. I managed to save enough money to last for a while if I'm careful. My Master's Thesis was about creative writing (you can find a copy in the collection at University Library in Indianapolis-IUPUI). I'm looking for friends, and it doesn't matter where you live. People who know me would say I'm loyal, sensitive, and just a likeable guy. I hope they are right!
