After reading a few pages of Brandon Sanderson‘s blog, I became convinced that I should have one of my own.  After all, we’re both famous authors who need to reach out to our public.

Well, one of us is.

So I went to wordpress.org and tried unsuccessfully to be enough of a  geek–technology geeks have all the luck; renfair and general geeks like me get ripped off–to be able to do the whole fancy FTL and PHP thing.  Then I found wordpress.com.  That was much easier.

I probably won’t blog much about social and political issues.  There are enough dang bloggers doin’ that gig already. And I probably will not blog about the mundane details of my life, unless something non-mundane happens, or unless the mundanity becomes interesting.

Not that I won’t do social commentary, of course.  I like ripping on society now and then.

What’s left, you ask?

Well, despite being a middle-class white kid, I have a few interesting things up my sleeve.  This site will probably end up being the repository for any poetry and stories that get rejected one too many times by magazines.  And I’ll probably also put up anything that gets published but allows me to retain the electronic rights.

I’m big on grammar.  You can expect to see some grammar-related things up here.  And book reviews.  Proclamations of impending doom.  A profuse collection of verbose, yet witty thoughts and nonsense.  Dreamy things when I’m feeling spaced out, idealistic, or sleep-deprived.  Mythological things, historical things, fantasaical things, literary things, musical things, writing-related things, geeky things, whimsical things, philosophical things, and just plain stupid things are all likely to find their way onto this: my blog.

We’ll just see what happens.
