Bloggity, Blog, Blog, Blog

Well… It’s happened. And it wasn’t easy. But… I’ve been convinced to blog. I avoided it with my editing business. I’ve avoided it with my personal life. Every time someone mentioned the word blog, I either cringed or changed the subject or just smiled and nodded.

Now, don’t get me wrong. There are some amazing blogs out there. Neil Gaiman. Astounding. A pleasure to read.

But I’m no Neil Gaiman.

But I am launching a book. So… I should be blogging. Right? But I don’t want to tell people how to write. Not only is it presumptuous, it’s silly. You learn to write by writing… a lot. And reading… even more. Sure you can be taught grammar and punctuation. But the grammar and punctuation you learn isn’t always the right choice for good writing.

I could write about my private life. But here’s the problem… and don’t take offense. There’s a reason it’s my private life. It’s private. I want to keep it that way.

So… I’m left with politics. May offend. Religion. Certain to offend. Gardening. Wine. Cooking. Lovely and perhaps will be explored. And my books.

Which is how this whole blog thing started.

To be continued…
