Just getting started

Whew! I am completely wet behind the ears when it comes to blogging. Up until about a year ago I had no clue what a blog was- sure I’d heard the term being bounced around for the past couple of years, but I was at a complete loss for a definition.

In my mind, a blog is akin to an online journal geared towards a specific audience with a specific interest. My interest is writing, specifically to write novels worthy of publishing. Hopefully one of your interests is to read about writing. My goal is to create a fan base with which I can “test-write” my ideas, receive feedback and improve my writing, and yes, eventually get published. Lofty goals? I agree. That’s why I’m casting my net far and wide in hopes that the general public will keep me in tune with what they want from my writing. I hope you will enjoy reading my posts, tracking my progress, reading sample chapters, and giving feedback on my eclectic writing interests. So, before we begin this exciting, nerve-wracking (for me) journey, let me take a moment (read: several posts) to introduce myself.
