Oh, yawn! Another writer’s blog. Why, for ${DIETY}’s sake, would I want to read yet another wannabe author’s blog??
Well, if that’s your opinion, don’t bother. I didn’t make you come here.
But like many writers who strive to get published, I have 3 basic reasons to blog. First, it’s just good practice – more writing of any kind yields better writing of all kinds. Second, it’s now clear to us that we each have to build a (drum-roll, please!) p l a t f o r m . Which is just a fancy-pants way of saying we have to have someplace to generate publicity. Third, I hope to be able to share triumphs and setbacks with my peers, give encouragement, gain valuable criticism.
I had started to blog over here over three years ago, and I expected to write about my attempt to re-tool my current career as a programmer and computer systems administrator. But I have since decided that I would rather write than code, so now you can read me here.
“Let the practice begin!”
