Actually, it's more of a revival of a previous blog. I've had a few over the years, and they've chronicled everything from my road trips to updates on my books to the adventures of a deer lawn ornament owned by neighbors who may or may not have been Russian spies. Like so many, though, I fell under the sway of quick and easy social media posting. And who wouldn't? You get out what you want in a handful of words, have fast interactions, and go from there. I fell away from writing complete paragraphs. I started sacrificing punctuation in order to stay under a certain character count.
Now, it's time to bring back the written word. I still love Facebook and Twitter (and occasionally Instagram), but sometimes, you've just got to write a little more in waxing on the intricacies of everyday life. You can't really tell the adventures of a spy deer in 140 characters (or 280 or whatever the word count du jour is now).
I am, after all, a writer. I write. It's what I do.
And so, here we are with a fresh blog to get my thoughts back out there. Let's get this party started.
