I am a writer, sixth grade teacher and blogger seeking to explore new creative terrain. I am not a cyborg, however.

Mortimer Mandrake was born to a human mother and a robotic father (don't ask) and was raised in a household built upon words and sentences. Literally, the house was constructed on a bedrock of phonics.

As Mortimer grew older, he realized his life was slightly different than his friends and soon came to wield the amazing Power of the Pen. One day, his parents were sucked into a giant Black Hole that opened up in his math homework and Mortimer was left to defend himself in this world and in other worlds. His weapon of choice is a golden Feather with magical ink that turns thoughts into reality.

In his role as WritingMan, Mortimer defends the Universe against the dreaded StandardizedTestMan and his evil sidekick, Apathy.

With a cry of "My Ink Never Runneth Out!" and the ability to jump through words by making thoughts reality, WritingMan is on a quest to connect all of the creative power of the Universe into one Gigantic Book of Cool Words and Stories.
