I started this blog for a couple of reasons. I think that the main reason is that I love to write, and somewhere along the way, I forgot that. Despite everything that will make it painless for me to write and self publish on the net, I just never decided to try and re-discover that[...]
One of the things this blog is for is so that I can share my writing with the internet. To that end, I wrote a short story to try and work on my prose while I work on the plot and background to my saga. Realistically, I have 5 or 6 full books worth of[...]
