There’s been a lot of noise on the interwebs lately about how or why people should blog or even in some cases not bother to blog at all. Some of it I agree with and some of it I think is bordering on the ridiculous, but is that really anything new? Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I am fast approaching my one year anniversary on this blog and looking back I had no idea what I was going to do with this site when I started. The entire purpose has always been just to have a space out here in the nether to share stuff that interested me, and the largest focus has been on writing, because that is what I’m doing with the bulk of my “spare” time. On the other hand, I always did intend this to be a place to connect with other people. I am extremely flattered that anyone is reading this stuff. I’ve found that I really like to see people stopping by and reading and leaving comments, it has its own addiction. I love being able to connect to my favorite authors in this new electric frontier, it’s easier than ever before, so in that vein I started this blog with the hopes of one day having my book published and have a place to connect with my readers. Maybe that’s conceited, it’s certainly not intended to be -- I like to think of it as hopeful.
