Hello world!

To blog or not to blog?

My Aquarian nature tells me its a good thing to keep up with the new and my writing practice requires exactly that, so to blog it will be.

“In life, time runs together in its sameness, but in fiction time is condensed—one action springboards into another, greater action.

Cause and effect are so much clearer in novels than they are in life.

You might not see how everything threads together as you read along, but when you look back from the end of the story, the map becomes clear.”

Ann Patchett, These Precious Days
