My name is Timothy Hicks, and I've been writing for 5 years now, since I was 13. My main hobbies include writing, playing my piano, origami and bicycling.


I'm a bit OCD about some things and some would refer to me as a nervous pacer. I like to do outdoor activities, but at the same enjoy my alone time where I can sit and write. I'm a very avid reader and enjoy several different genres: horror, science-fiction, fantasy, and mysteries such as Sherlock Holmes.


I've had several different jobs including shakerboarder, pizza-make and cotton candy maker-and-distributor.


I like to think of myself as someone that can fit into almost any crowd and I always try to stay on the bright side of things. I swear very little and hardly ever get mad at people. I believe spreading smiles is a much better practice than sharing negativity...

Thanks everyone for participating in my contest!

 

I've been rather busy these last few days, working on the property, and haven't had a lot of time to be on the computer, but I hope to have some results posted up within a few days tops!

 

P.S. I'll try to make more clear instructions next contest! I've gotten a lot of Soup Messages from people that were confused about my rules ...

 

P.S.S. There's a wonderful sense of randomness to these entries ... especially from those that had an odd set of words to deal with (one of the most surprising entries was from guy who actually managed to write a senryu with those 5 words!) ...

 

-Tim

Thanks Jan ... I was rather impressed by the senryu, but still unsure of how things will play out ...

Tim, my words were weird, but I did my best and I am hoping you like my poem, but win or lose what an incredible journey it was, Constance
