Yowwa

Good day to you all fellow Prosers, I am Yowwa, and this is a brief overview of myself, my likes, talents, idiosyncrasies and personality. I humbly trust that these revelations will in no way deter you from reading my stuff. All comments, criticisms and observations are most welcome.

Firstly, Yowwa is not my actual name, nor is it a nom de plume. It originated a few years back when I was visiting friends, and their daughter (Chanade) who was aged just two at that time, decided to call me it. It sort of stuck, and even though she is now almost five years old she still calls me, Yowwa.

My actual name is Stephen Owens, or Stevo as I prefer, but I answer to Yowwa just as well.

Secondly, I have two hidden talents that I bring out at parties. I am a cartoonist and pianist being naturally gifted at Art since an early age. As for my musical talents, I was taken in by a Franciscan Friar while I was still at school and taught to read music. I became quite good at it and was often called upon to play at Weddings, funerals and such. Unfortunately after I left school I commenced Military service which lasted some fifteen years, during which time my piano skills deteriorated badly. I can still hammer a tune on the ivories, but reading music is now a thing of the past.

Thirdly, I have a huge dislike for gossiping, bad table manners and violence of any sort. I cannot watch any form of violence, even in movies or video games such as Call of Duty. Odd I know given my military background, but I've seen quite enough thank you.

Lastly, I have many failings chief of which is my intolerance for any form of bullying. Some may say that's a good thing, but I believe that bullying is a natural human trait ingrained in us (and most animals), that drives us to rise in the pecking order of our peers by asserting ourselves on others. But it is a trait I abhor. The thing is, if I grab a known bully and give him a thick ear then I am no better than he. I hate it.

To end, I must admit that although writing comes easily to me I very much doubt anything will ever come of it, but I love writing so much that I cannot bring myself to stop, and this lovely little app suits me and my casual writing to a T. I am devoted to Prose, and it's users as I see you all as striving to be heard with your beautiful words, wondrous verse and exciting tales.

Writing is as necessary for the soul as breathing is for our bodies, and though I may be physically ageing quite badly, nothing pleases me more than a cup of tea, a pair of slippers and a good read.

Long may Prose, and it's users continue to thrill and amaze.

Thank you for reading.
