The best way to be a writer is to actually write something, for crying out loud.

Here, I am attempting to write something. Anything.

I’ll be recording random ideas and my (often zany or depressing) dreams. I’ll also kick around thoughts and research for real stories that have been gestating for months in the back of my head, in the hope of pushing myself to turn them into something readable.

I’m currently delving into historical fiction, science fiction, and scholarly fiction (if that’s a genre). We’ll see what wins my attention in the long run. You’ll see how a growing writer turns inklings into ink (I can dream, anyway).
