Ok, time to get serious...

Ok now. It is time for me to get serious. I've had this blog for too long without doing anything with it. But I'm going to start posting more of my writing. Yeah, I know, I have a separate area of my website that has my poetry posted. But, just for ease of use, I think I'm going to start using my blog to post all my other writings. Prose, short stories, the novel I've been working on forever... Scripts I've written in the past.

I wrote a play in high school. And I don't think it's any good. But since I've been thinking about it the past few days, I want to write another one. Just need a good idea to roll with.

As for my novel, it started out as a short story. Then I just kept adding and changing things. And it got more in depth, and started to get too long to be a short story. It started to become about the length of a novella. And I still have ideas and elements that I want to work into it. So I'm going to continue with it.

I've only ever shared it with one other person outside my family. And even within my family, only my brother John really knows about it. Oh and mom. I told her about it once. She wants me to finish it and try to get it published. Because if I did, I'd trump my dad who's been writing forever, and never had anything published as far as I know. If I got published before him, maybe he'd be mad, or glad, or who knows what. Maybe it would be the impetus he needs to finally try and get his own work out there.

My point though, was that I'm going to start sharing it in blog form, little by little. I'd post it in chapters, but while it does have definite splits, there are no defined chapters as yet. It's just one long story with a few breaks. But as I refine the layout and edit more, chapters may yet arise. In the meantime, I'm going to find all my other works I've written over the years, and start posting them too...

It's time I stepped out of the shadows and shared what makes me, me...
