About Flattish »

A huge fan of baseball and everything manly that comes with it, I started blogging at the suggestion of my sister. I've always been told to 'write what you know', so I compose from two perspectives: being a fan and being a babe. I started writing during my stint as a stand-up comic, and have since completed a number of works of fiction. I live in Philadelphia with my son who is being polished to be the greatest Phils fan ever and my husband who quite possibly is.

I've been in contact with a guy who represents DeSean Jackson and helping him with his social networking sites. He wanted me to help spread the word about Jackson auctioning his gloves on Sunday to help raise money for Pancreatic Cancer Research. If you have time, I'd love if you'd check this article out.

Ha. I haven't visited the humor page for a while. So I writes myself a humor article and stop in to see what's going on and am delighted when I see Flattish Poe as top writer. I knew a while ago it wouldn't take you long to make your mark. Good for you.
