Introduced to Ficly by a little bird who migrated to the land of Orange, Mr. Dillard enjoys writing but is often found at odds with the time constraints of his busy life exploring the jungles of Africa. He has a fondness for grammatical exactitude as well as turning common phrases into Proper Nouns (scientists believe it to be his German ancestry). With a penchant for the dramatic and a score to settle with the Blank Page, R. E. Dillard will begin his Online Adventure here, in the land of Ficly, with hopes that, once the Writing Bug bites, he will be able to embrace the career as Literarian which he was forced to leave behind so many decades ago.
