For better or worse, I've taken the potentially reckless step of setting up a blog. Everyone has one, now, right? I mean, it's what they're doing in full-day kindergarten, yes?
I can't promise what will or won't show up here - pretty much anything I feel like writing or ranting about, that I couldn't sell somewhere else. (Hmm, we're setting the bar pretty high here, aren't we?) I'll try to keep it entertaining, or at least thought-provoking. Water-cooler conversation-worthy (you know, like, "Did you see what that moron wrote last night?"). Feel free to play along.
I've been playing with words for what seems like my entire life. I know I started writing a detective novel when I was 7, and before that some plays that were actionably similar to the Neil Simon comedies performed by the amateur theater group my Dad was involved in.
It's always been natural, crafting sentences and paragraphs. It served me well in getting a history degree (one paper published in the History department's student journal), and I've been lucky in that it even once got me a job. But I've never published a book, or a screenplay, and I guess I've always regretted that. Can't help feeling there's at least one in there somewhere.
So, let's proceed, and see where this leads us. And, hopefully, some of you might like to tag along.
