Hello!

This is not my first attempt at a blog, but I’m hoping this one will stick. It is the third one, so it has got to be the charm. Right?

Mostly, I am starting this blog to get into the habit of writing more than once in a blue moon. I seriously need to write more. The key to writing is simply writing (and a crap ton of other things, but let’s keep it simple).

I’m sure at some point I will post stories that make fun of myself and my goofy thoughts or interpretations of things (like how I went most of my life thinking the saying was “nip it in the butt”). I’m also about to start a class about Flash Fiction writing and I’ll have plenty to share from that experience. I may occasionally post book reviews or comments about things that drive me insane (like COMIC SANS…yuck). You probably won’t see post about sex (well maybe), religion or politics because it isn’t polite to talk about those things in mixed company. Too many opinions.

Speaking of opinions. I welcome feedback. I’m open to constructive criticism, friendly debates and banter, but please keep your nasty, negative thoughts to yourself or post them elsewhere.

I’ll end this post with a phrase from one of my favorite online communities, Nerdfighteria:

Don’t Forget To Be Awesome (DFTBA)
