msullivantales.com Poems, Prose and Play


Michael Sullivan has been a house painter, a copy salesman, an obituary writer, a baby wrangler for a photographer, an actor, a singer, a music teacher for toddlers, a construction worker, a stockboy at a drug store, a deli worker, a reporter and editor, a psychiatric nurse, and this is since Tuesday!

All fine and interesting but let's face it, if you're here you're looking to see if this fella can actually write. Or maybe if you can actually read. I can't help with the last one. Well, maybe. Let's try.

"winkleshpin"

Could you read that? Do you know what it means? If so, please email me. It just came into my head and I'm dying to know what I'm saying.



So this guy Michael's been writing forever. He's written for newspapers and magazines, published travel articles and wedding stories and children's poems, and sung numerous songs about body sounds that his kids make.

He's got some spooky poems that came out in 2010.
He's got a bunch of other awesomely chuckleful works just waiting for homes.
He's found the solution to Washkin's Theory of Objectivity. That get your attention? Again, just made it up. Email me if either the theory or Washkin exist.

 

What else do you want to know about him? (How does his wife put up with him is not a valid question.)



THE BLOB Contest
Run from my blog, THE BLOB contest was a monthly endeavor that mostly served to make me laugh. Each month, my oldest son drew a blob in a free paint program on the computer. The challenge then became for writers throughout the literate universe (or mostly literate) to come up with a piece about it, in 100 words or less.

Blob # 1

After hours, perhaps days of deliberation I chose the month's winner and mailed them a lucky book of stamps. The Blob, alas, fell victim to a combination of debt reduction and sloth at the end of the summer.

Still interested in seeing the results? Go to...

About the lovely village scene on the header...

Kulyenchikov actually. The canvas was about 14'X14'. It was used in a production of Neil Simon's "Fools" at John Tyler Community College. Many thanks to their professor for allowing me to use this. Many thanks to the professor's and my children for not tearing it down during dress rehearsals.
