So, welcome and make yourself at home! I’ll just adjust the welcome mat…
Rolling Out the Welcome Mat to You!
My journey has taken a number of turns and there is no doubt in my mind that it will take several more. But that’s how everyone’s life goes, yes?
So, I’ll start semi- from the beginning. Kinda, sorta.
For my entire life, I have chafed against the idea that I would find something that would make me happy forever (except for my husband! 
— but I digress). I mean it in the sense of a career.
After all, how can I (or most people, for that matter) know what will keep me happy and engaged for, say, fifty years?
Complicating matters is the fact that I came of age long before computers were as ubiquitous as they are right now.
But I always knew I wanted something different. But it wasn’t until maybe the turn of this millennium that I finally started to see it with some clarity.
Is this it? Is blogging, social media, content, or some combination thereof… it?
I confess I am still unsure.
And if that makes me flaky to others, well, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet, folks.
PS This blog is a continual work in progress. If it changes tomorrow, well, you can’t say I didn’t warn you.
Content, Content, and more Content For the Welcome Mat and Beyond
I blog. A lot. Seriously, I can’t stop blathering. So again, you cannot say that you did not have a warning.
I write about my writing, about social media, and about writing as a business and/or hobby. That is, it’s stuff about querying and the like.
And the truth is, if you have any other ideas for the kinds of hot (heh, more like lukewarm) takes I have about any of these topics or something similar, then let me know! I am more than willing to expand my horizons. After all, that’s how I learn/
Writing and Stuff Outside the Actual Welcome Mat
I’m a writer. I make characters out of thin air, and they come to life (if I’ve done my job right) with just the application of pixels or ink on a page.
If they don’t feel real, then I want to know about it!
Opinions
Yes, I have them. Don’t you? Am I right about everything?
Ha, that is to laugh. But I try.
And I put myself out there. It is a risk like any other. One which I hope will pay off in some manner, of course.
See ya ’round the interwebz.
