About the author

I hate writing these. First off you have to decide between using first or third person and neither seems particularly satisfying:

Paul McCormack hates writing his own bio.

See? It just seems off. But on the other hand first person seems either unnaturally familiar or pre-packaged.

I'm not that interesting. And even if I were, I wouldn't tell you. No offense, I'm sure you're great and all, but who likes the guy who starts a conversation with "I'm pretty great," or "Google 'people who kick ass' and I'm the first result."? No one, that's who. And if you do then, um, I guess you'll be very popular at sporting events and political conventions.

Point being, I think they're silly (the bios, not the people... well, not all of the people at least... moving on...) and when I have to do them I get irritable, antsy and easily distracted which doesn't help...

Sorry, I got sidetracked Googling "people who kick ass" just to make sure I wasn't the first result. That would have just been embarrassing since I made that crack about it earlier. So where was I?

Ah, screw it. These are a pain in the ass anyway.
