Introvert

a Haven for 25% of the Planet

Shadow People

Monday June 7, 2004 by Hal

I finally finished my children’s book. (I have to stop and look at that sentence a for a minute. Okay, on with the entry.) Not that I think they’re great literature but I’m amazed each time I read them.

I love words; I’m one of the few people I know who can amuse themselves for hours with a dictionary. (note to self: get out more … ) [Reply to self: I’m an introvert, remember?]

If you’re interested, you can find “Tales from the Clan of the Shadow People” over here at my other website (where I store my brain).

The order is wrong over there - It should be “Introduction to the Shadow Clan Stories”, “Who they are”, “The Box of Tears”, “The Chamber Mountains”, “Fire Night”, “The Darkness without a Disguise”, “The Day of the Airborne Dreamers”, “The King of Circumstances”, “The Impatient Farmer”, and “The Stillness Broken”.

Now I’ve got to find an illustrator …

  1. Hi Hal,

    It’s a relief to know there is someone else out there who can find entertainment in the dictionary. I must admit I cut my teeth on the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the World Book Encyclopedia, & Child Craft Books. I have a great love of etymology, & you might find me doing crosswords, crostics, & cryptograms on occasion.

    Oh, by the way, I clicked on here from your “I wanna be Free!! (or at least low cost)” post at the Monster Networking Boards. I bookmarked your site so I can come back later to read some of your stuff. I really like what I’ve read so far.

  2. Oh, I forgot to mention - I MIGHT be able to help you with finding an illustrator.

  3. I came across your website from a link in the Monster.com networking message board, I think it was the one with the guy who had the MBA but no experience. (I have a similar problem, by the way). This is great! As an incurable (assuming I want a cure) introvert, I will be coming back often. I loved your daughter’s essay on introversion. It captured it better than I ever could. I commented that I might use it to explain introversion to my family and friends. That wasn’t a joke; it was that good. (I finally found good use for a semicolon!) Anyways, take care. And if you need an illustrator, I’ve never done that professionally, but I do enjoy drawing. Maybe I can try. Or maybe you can go with Turnip’s offer. He probably knows a professional. Take care!
