It all begins with the first sentence. Whether that be “It was a dark and stormy night” or “The clouds boiled over Dunnigan’s head, but the torrents of rain they poured on him were far lighter than his spirits”. Either way, the tale has begun. (I prefer the second, don’t you?)

In the same bent, this blog is begun. I will attempt to make it worth your time and effort for stopping by.

I m a writer, among other things. To that end, I have read many books, perused many websites and tried many different things in the quest to hone my skills. Am I a better writer than you are? I have no idea. I’m sure that there are writers in the world far better than I am myself. I’m just as sure that regardless of the skills possessed by two writers in any given room, they can and will both learn from each others methods if they choose to look at them with an open mind.

I hope you will take what I have to give here with an open mind. You may just learn something. On the other hand, feel free to comment or contact me with your feelings, methods, tips or tricks, and I will probably learn something. It’s a wonderful trade-off, and I think it will be beneficial to all.

This blog begins on January 1st 2007. I wish you all a happy and productive new Year.
