Why yes, I am starting a blog....

So, now that I'm getting ready to submit my first stories, I have decided it's time to start my oh-so-important author blog. I want people who like my work to have someplace to come to learn more about me, and hopefully talk to me. I've also decided to use this blog as a bit of an experiment. I'm currently writing my first fantasy novel, and I want to document the writing process for "posterity." I have no illusions about this blog's success, and I'm not expecting much, but as my mother likes to say, "you can't succeed if you don't try."

Ideally, I hope to update this here blog twice a week every once in awhile. I hope y'all enjoy my writing, and please feel free to leave comments, questions, etc. I'm pretty new to this writing/blogging/human social interaction thing, so be gentle with me and I'll be glad to chat or answer any questions you might have.

Cheers,

J

  2. Thanks Gayle! Starting a blog is definitely scary. I'm sure it'll be worth the effort in the long run, though. Plus, it might even be fun :)

  3. Omigoodness, Jarryd, now you, too ? Your impressive first effort is goading me (Note: I didn't say "convincing") to consider (sigh) finding a new blog-home and resurrecting my short-lived blog from 2010. Have fun with your blog and congrats !
