I am a Superhero

Batman, Batman, Batman. Everyone wants to be Batman.

But I have no such aspiration. For I am a superhero already.

I am not Batman. I am Night Writer, a one man write by night force feared by fictional villains the world over.

I am masked magnificence cloaked in creativity. I brandish no blaster. The weapon I wield is mightier than the sword. I am perilous with a pen and with it I bring chaos to an end.

It is I who protects your excursions into realms imagined. I am he who safeguards your right to delve into lands of fantasy, warp through space in starships, and live vicariously through your favorite protagonists.

I bring worlds to your doorstep and transport you through time. I write the page where your journey begins.

They call me a superhero. They call me Night Writer.

If this world no longer suits you, you're welcome in mine.

    Blogland is a better place with Night Writer looking out for us, and entertaining us in the process!

      Make sure you shine the Bat-signal, er., Night Quill signal and he'll start searching for that perfect plot.

      There are times Night Writer puts himself to sleep. He can probably do the same for you. :)

    That's right. Superhero time! Didn't know you were going for a secret identity but it seems fitting and an excellent idea hahaha. Will you also come up with a superhero costume? Or the armor is still in fashion these days? In any case, I have you at the new dragon cave wall. Well, not you, just your word. :D

      Well, I had considered Knight Writer, but didn't want to be confused with yesterday's heroes. I'm still pondering costume. ;-)

      Yes, you gave Night Writer's alter-ego quite the shock yesterday! Send more paper bags!

    Look at those fingers type! In a blur of mighty speed worlds are created and destroyed! It's...it's Night Writer! (Are those flannel tights and a blankie tied around your neck that you're wearing?) Such a fun post.

      Night Writer battled the Sandman just last night. For hours they struggled, but alas, Sandman prevailed in the end. They shall duel again, I'm sure of it.

    I think there are many night writers among us here in the writers' blogosphere. We might look tame by day, but at night, we turn on our laptops and we pound it!
