I was born August 14, 1958 in Cincinnati, Ohio.  My parents named me James Sherwood Metts.  My life has been one circuitous episode after another.  There were times when I was inspired and there were times when I had to reflect on my not so uplifting choices.  I was always looking for things fun to do and learn.  But decades went by, and I began to wonder if, and when, I was going to decide how I wanted my life to be.  Thankfully, I came up with an aspiration to prove to myself that I knew what I was thinking and talking about by writing about how I see the world through the viewpoint of a fictional character from another planet.  Planet Storyland is proof that I confronted this challenge.  I love life.  I can’t think of anything better than being alive.  And, to show my sincere appreciation I am going to share my inspiration, PLANET STORYLAND, with as many people who also believe that life is absolutely amazing!
