Just what the world needs. Another blog, to ease the current severe shortage.<\/p>\n
So what\u2019s the point of this, really? To some degree, it\u2019s to reduce the amount of \u2018take a look at this\u2019 email I send to friends and acquaintances. But there\u2019s an ulterior motive. I\u2019ve recently been afflicted with the need to write fiction. This is not something that just showed up out of the blue. I\u2019ve been at risk for many years. Just ask my mother. More recently, a few years ago I was diagnosed (by a career adviser) as \u2018needing an audience.\u2019 So part of this exercise is to see if I can generate one.<\/p>\n
If you bother to check back in (or subscribe to the RSS feed), what you\u2019ll be seeing is a combination of the following:<\/p>\n
New technological events, breakthroughs, achievements, or gadgets that I find interesting.<\/p>\n
Portions of fiction works in progress. I\u2019ll be above-board here; my goal is the same as the drug dealer who gives you the first one for free \u2013 I want you to come back for more. If you want to see the entire work, you\u2019ll need to buy the magazine or book <\/wishful_thinking> If you\u2019re interested in becoming a beta reader and seeing entire works, email me and we\u2019ll talk about it.<\/p>\n
Links to images or videos that interested me enough to want to share them.<\/p>\n
Sharing of personal experiences that I think are worthy of sharing, sometimes with photos. Probably most of these will have to do with airplanes. I could wax poetic about aviation for quite a while, and I probably will, but I’ll save that for another post, at another time.<\/p>\n
One thing I won\u2019t touch on here is politics. Unfortunately, there are too many otherwise intelligent people out there who don\u2019t agree with each and every one of my points of view, so exploring this realm would probably just upset all parties involved. Besides, its too important a topic to relegate to a few blog articles. Perhaps in another blog, at another time, in another place.<\/p>\n
For now, commenting is turned off. From what I\u2019ve seen, successfully managing the comments on a blog can be a daunting undertaking. But the jury is still out on this.<\/p>\n
So that\u2019s it for now. It will be interesting to look back a year from now, or two, or five and see where this has gone.<\/p>\n
