I am not a writer.
I am barely a storyteller.
I am, at best, a dreamer.
Ever since I can remember I have been writing. I have always wanted to write. I have always tried to write. And I have always been told I can't write.
I have had one story in my head since I was a high school student and over the years I have jotted down ideas, developed characters and philosophy, written some scenes, and discussed it at length with
friends. I have always felt that in the hands of a really good writer it could become something interesting ...
It's a real shame that writer isn't me.
In an effort to keep my ideas flowing, my dream alive, and have a record somewhere of my attempt at writing, I have decided to start this blog for myself and my friends who support my efforts.
Perhaps when I am gone a real writer will find all of this information and create something really interesting from my failed efforts ...
Or maybe I might actually write a book ... *laugh*
This blog will be a collection of random thoughts, notes, ideas, and written scenes.
There will be no specific order. No "Page 1, Chapter 1". No table of contents.
Just me writing something ... anything ... everything ...
