Début.Well here it is. The first blog. Or whatever you want to call it.
The début. The beginning. A waste of time. The start of something beautiful. I can honestly say though, I never expected I'd be actually blogging. In my journey to become a writer and fully-fledged author, my naive self believed that all you needed to do was write a novel and find a publisher (well for some lucky souls, this could very well be the case, so to those enlightened few, pay no heed to this ramble) and you'd be on your way. Oh my dear friends there is so much more to it than that. Like building a name for yourself through short stories, writing for magazines, going to writers conventions, networking, entering competitions and yes, blogging. The cool thing is that's it's a hell of a lot of fun.... If you like this kind of thing. Which I do, so stop looking at me like that. So the plan with this blog is to do a lot of stuff actually. Mainly, I want to present various short stories and bits of my full length novels, side stories based on characters I create, prototypes and draft ideas for stories, lyrics for unreleased TDH tracks, that kind of thing. Oh, and I also want to rant about whatever makes me angry, happy or sad every now and again too..... I'll probably end up doing this more often than not as it's just so easy to ramble. But for now I'd like to keep this little début blog short and sweet. I'm looking forward to sharing my Stories, Rants and Musings and seeing what happens.... Kind of like throwing a match on a fuse and seeing when and where the explosion will be, no? Anyways, time for me go find some matches.
