Mark Ewbie

Humorous, quirky, engaging, honest, thoughtful and quirky.  These are some words that you can find in the dictionary.  I just stuck them on my profile in case people scan it and dive straight in.

I am an amateur writer writing stuff that is a diversion from the straight and narrow of serious thought.  

Up until now (maybe tomorrow) this has not been a huge success.  I am optimistic that soon the corner will be turned - in a literary rather than geographical sense - and my self regarded talent recognised.

To know a little bit more about me then read Interview with Mark Ewbie. It won't tell you any more, but it will tell you what I like to write. 

I won a Hubbie award for this story about Winnie the Pooh.  Either read it, or don't read it, but it's not for scanning. It's a fifteen hundred word story with fun, tears and a resolution.  Possibly my finest bit of proper writing.

I didn't win anything for this Plumbing With Drano page. It's funny though, in my opinion.

And I like drawing Stickmen.  I make no excuses for this.

I'm blogging here...

It's all the same sort of stuff but written with greater freedom.  Er, and speed mainly.  Thoughts on things, with a sprinkling of either information or humor.  Bit sparse on both to be honest, but hey!

That's showbiz.

I mean the internet.

I am a very amateur artist.  My favorite drawings are on fridge magnets and available through a CafePress store.  A few people have actually bought one or two!  These are a great way to disappoint relatives or unloved children at Xmas time.

Oh, and I am an amateur website owner.  I say 'own', actually it's on loan from Google, but the content is mine.

Quite frankly, the website is a bit rubbish. Buy the CafePress magnet and at least it will stick on something.  Probably.

This is the site that was banned briefly by Google.  I don't why although it might have something to do with the spoof advert on the front page.

Or maybe they just thought it was too crap even for them...

This site is even worse...

Apparently, under new Google Panda guidelines I need a slightly longer profile page to convince the search engines I am of good stock.

There. That should do it.

Whoops, forgot the advertising.  Below are some of my pages, at least until they redesign the profile page.  God knows where they will end up after that.

Anyway, if you pick one and like it you will probably like the others.  If you don't like it you won't like any of them.  If you don't pick any then this has all been a waste of time.  Apologies.
