I wouldn't be here without the help of many friends who have aided, encouraged and cajoled me. If I don't mention you here, I am not ungrateful but simply forgetful with age and wayside imbibings.

Jobe, artist, companion and lover.
Zig, a fellow ancient wanderer and rhymester.
Santoshima, Aphrodite, Shufei, Zen, Eliza and Ini from Second Life.
Yolande for her warmth and inspiring example.
Albert and CountZero, and many friends on Mastodon.
The good folk at the Manchester Writing School.
Matt from Writing Exchange.

updraft is an overcooked motley of personal writings. Prose and poems from midnight streets. Eat quickly and don't ask what the meat is.

I'm a poet, storyteller, writer of simple stuff. A six-year-old could do better. The sophistication train left without me.

A desultory bohemian. Fingers in a lot of pies. A wandering shaman who spins words and sounds.

I travel by many names. You may have read my words, heard my storytelling, danced to my music. But probably not.

Pay no attention to me.

I am Simone Leclair. I sometimes write with pen names such as Jo (a young woman) and Storm (an old man).
