216+ languages? I guess that's good to start with but as a professional bio-writer I feel like you could play up your accomplishments more. Don't be afraid to show some confidence. You got this!
Plus, In sure you've discovered that if you reverse translate War and Peace and play it at 78rpm, the title becomes War is Peace and the novel takes place on a pig farm in Siberia.
Hm. I thought that might show my age. :) I reached back deep in the hippocampus for that one. Dry, low key humorissts (that's us, right?) pre youth revolution. Slow. The world has moved on.
Wow. This Nathan guy is amazing. I believe everything he says he's done, except for his given name ‘Adam’. C’mon! ‘Adam’ like the first-ever man to roam the Earth Adam? Nah, I don't buy it. I'm sorry.
It's because of your role in Game 6, that I led the petition movement with the English departments of BU, BC, Harvard, and the entire Boston public school system that canceled your ass decades before cancellation was s thing. For my personal role in that prescient movement, I remain steadfastly proud and wish you a continued royalty-free career.
My career runs no risk of royalties anytime soon, but I do want to say that my roommate for that series was a huge Red Sox fan and I was a huge Mets fan and Game 6 was a long night for both of us, but ultimately much longer for him. That's the most exciting baseball game I've ever watched.
I believe anyone who focuses on fiction should be able to completely reinvent themselves in their author bios., and I'm not sure what I would put in a nonfiction one. "Has modest little Substack where he pen little stories monthly."

Hahahahaha. This made me lol. So perfect. I almost feel like adding it as an "Editor's note."
You can do it!

Yes! Peace & War takes place on a pig farm in St. Petersburg, Florida!
I thought that was me. :(
We should work on our bios together. I find mine to be somewhat lacking so a wee bit of a fluff can go a long way.
I'm all for fluff. Which reminds me you forgot to include the years we worked as Bob and Ray.
Ok, so I do not know them, but it looks like I have a couple guys to queue up.

I don’t think I’m that far behind you.
I forgot about your Mets' phase...
My accomplishments all crowd each other away. It's very hard to keep track of it all.

That just felt like bragging.
A true renaissance man!
I consider it an aspirational bio.

It was a mere flesh wound for the likes of me, a classic set-up for 2004.
I love All Things Considered.
Freaking genius.
Or braggadocious .
Oops, read that last sentence too fast, I thought it said your wife’s name was Eiffel.
The only two things true in that entire bio are that I'm married and live in Brooklyn.
So, two is good…
Btw, I was watching CBS new ‘Sunday Morning’ and thought of you. In case you missed it;

Oh, couldn’t it be me? Genderless …
It absolutely could be you, but you'll need to add at least one more absurd accolade to the mix.
Hehe, this made me laugh. Reverse translation of War and Peace. Quite the list of achievements there. ;)

I think you're absolutely right. Makes me want to do the same.
I do hope your subject-verb agreement is better than mine above. Although maybe that makes it even more of a keeper. :-)
Given such grammatical statements baffle me, I don’t think there’s much hope for me. ;)
I really wish somebody said something about the December, 2000 Bible stories date or the eight continents. You’re all fired.
I'm upset that nobody has commented on the addition of AI hair to my profile photo. Other than the creepy AI fingers, I rather like him.
The delicate little fingers. 😁
Aren't they just? I only wish there were six or seven of them.
Indeed, some extra tiny digits would give readers more confidence that you can hold a coffee mug or a cold beer steady.
