umm, you give me food for thought
I enjoy success...

I understand the sentiment but does it mean that enjoying success denotes insincerity?

Yeah I wondered if it should be quoted, seems weird to
quote myself but....I think you're right....thanks so much.  I am being asked for bios all the time, and I hate writing them, so I want a standard one I can just put out there in a hurry.  Any other suggestions???

Well I agree with you both---hahahah
Seriously I pondered that--is it negative or is it a sign that I don't take myself too seriously, that I put a lot out there, hence the rejection pile.....ummmmm, decisions

It's factual - short and sweet. I wouldn't want to read a page long bio about someone. I liked the last line so I'm gonna diagree with Mayb. I did think it maybe needed quotation marks. (That's just me being fussy)

She raises a good point but I saw it as amusing, not as a negative.

I think that your last line although sincerely meant may detract from the bio. People might start to wonder why you have so many rejection slips and they may wonder that if you have that many how can you help them not to do the same? I am probably completely wrong and the only person who will ever think like this but I offer you my opinion
