the journey of a thousand miles...

in the last few weeks, i have had three separate people approach me about my writing. now i have never considered myself a writer, but have enjoyed some of the writing i have done. and the thought has crossed my mind once or twice over the many years. so...

i have decided to give it a try.

over the next few months, i am going to explore several different aspects of writing.

fiction - a story (short or long)

non-fiction - collected stories of my life, both my own and those others allow me. (this is the one two of the people who told me i should write brought up.)

gaming - this is a two parter. first, the flavor of my on-going rifts japan campaign. second, the creation process of a brand new campaign. a d20 modern/future game. so this part will involve world creation, campaign setting and ultimately adventure design and flavor text.

blog - i will be attempting to log, journal, chronicle, etc, this journey of the written word. i will also be attempting to twitter it as well. no idea how stupid all of the transparency will get, but it will be another aspect of the writing.

i will also be pursuing some writing aids. i have found several collections of short exercises i intend to follow. hopefully they will hep.

i may at some points ask for commentary. i will certainly be open to constructive criticism in the public formats. 

maybe.

oh, yes. one more thing. my blogs and twitters and other public ramblings may not be grammatically correct, properly punctuated and capitalized or will have some other english-related issues. get over it. 

i will write in each of these aspects as i see fit. informally most often, but proper when needs be.

i hope to have at least two samples to play with by the end of this week. i'll let you know.

and now to get to it.
