Welcome!

Welcome to my second blog. Contrary to the first one, this blog (and my third and final one) will have a purpose that hopefully won't be strayed from. This blog is to showcase my writing. Showcase. Hah. Like my writing is good enough to be "showcased." Eh, might be. I tend to be a bit biased, though.

My main goal for this blog is to serialize a book I've been working on for, well, we won't get into how long ago I started it. I've never forgotten it, though, and I think it's about time I actually finished the damn thing.

Until I'm finished with it, though, I'll be posting other odds and ends here. Short stories, poetry, cute things I wrote as a kid...maybe even a bit of artwork should I get so bold (or tipsy).

I think Stephen King said it in his book on writing, "On Writing," that writers are inherently egotistical. We write things that we feel people should read. I'll agree with that, although I'll stop myself at saying that I deserve to be paid in order for people to read what I have to say. That's why I'm putting everything on a blog.

The only thing I ask of you as you read what's been written is that you comment. Good or bad, I can take it all. And if you find that you actually like what you're reading, please share the website with friends and family. Like I said, I'm a tad egotistical.
