The Thomas Fuller Website
Two categories of people: some live like they're planning their next great adventure and some live their adventure everyday--I place Thomas Fuller in second category.
Fuller's a writer, I suppose, though not a writer like most writers I work with: he doesn't think of himself as a writer. If I ask him, "what are you doing"? he'll say he spent the week cleaning out the garage or weeding the garden or that he's watching the movies of Otar Ioseliani...sometimes he says he's doing nothing or, most often, that he can never think of what to say when someone asks him, "what are you doing"?
I've never had a relationship with a person who has such a profound sense of both of his progressive and regressive personalities: if he were a publisher, as I am, he'd publish only what he didn't understand: if he were really a writer, as I am also, he'd write more like a writer, he is, that is with the steady underlying ambition of first becoming published as a writer and then becoming known as a writer. Neither personality seems to really appeal to Fuller, so he goes about his adventure trying to find a third personality or a fourth perhaps, that elastic realm in which it may be possible to define, contain, express, and destroy simultaneously all previous personality incarnations. What's more I'll say this of Fuller: in each personality he accepts, even embraces, his averageness, more than can be said of most.
When I first suggested to Fuller that he set up his own website and perhaps even blog on it, he was in the midst of his morning routine: two Vitamin C tablets and two all-purpose Male vitamin tablets washed down with coffee and a shot of Wild Turkey Rye. (If there was half a glass of red wine left from the night before he wouldn't neglect it.) He didn't say yes or no at the time; instead he pretended not to hear, that he was losing connection: "Brooks, Brooks, I can't hear you, Brooks are you there?...there must be something wrong." Click.
It's taken some time--Fuller actually condescended to write several guest blogs on the IF SF site--and patience, patience being paramount in the kingdom of virtues, and now I'm pleased to announce that Thomas Fuller will have his own website and that it will be fully operational Monday October 1, 2018.

Ps: Thomas Fuller is not to be confused with Thomas Fuller the 17thc English theologian or Thomas Fuller the New York Times correspondent and current San Francisco bureau chief; this Thomas Fuller is neither. I've never met this Thomas Fuller face to face and don't really want to, agreeing to preserve his anonymity as I do mine.
