Welcome to my blog! Most likely you’re here because you followed one of my social media links. Or maybe you just like to browse every new blog that comes along. (In which case, I want your job. How do you have that much free time? There’s over 100 million blogs, you know!)
In any event, this is my newest outlet for my writing, a place where I can ramble on a bit more than I do on Facebook and far more than is allowed on Twitter (unless you cheat and post a screenshot of a bunch of writing).
At this point, some of you may be wondering if I’m going to end every single paragraph with a parenthetical statement. (The answer is: no, I’m not. I actually have a bad habit of using ellipses more than parenthesis…)
The focus for this blog is my writing. Over the coming weeks, I’ll elaborate more about what I’ve written, what I’m planning to write, and so on. I’ll also go into the writing process, where I get ideas, books I’m reading, and so on.
I will not be using this blog to discuss politics. I have political opinions, but I’ve learned over the years that the internet is the worst place to share them. If you want to talk in person about politics sometime, I’m game. But I won’t be doing it here.
I also won’t be talking much about my personal life outside of how it relates to writing. That’s what Facebook is for, to share those things with my family and friends. (It’s also not for politics.)
I also will not be doing much talking about my faith here. As much as it is an essential part of who I am, it’s not the topic of this blog. Again, I would love to discuss it in person, but this is not the place, except as far as it relates to writing.
In case I haven’t made it clear… this blog is about writing! My primary writing focus right now is a YA (Young Adult) fantasy novel named Viridia. The novel is complete and I’m seeking just the right literary agent to help me sell it. If it works out, this could be the beginning of a series. More on that later.
For now, I’ll go play with the design and settings of this site some more until I’m happy with them. I look forward to sharing with you all!IMG_1436.jpg
