They say a writer is someone who writes. I started writing around age eight, as my early diaries will prove, but I didn't begin blogging until much later, 2010 to be exact. What follows is a snapshot of my blog of the past five years. This particular book is dedicated to the perpetual chasing of my authorship dream. I suppose for the reader and aspiring writer it would have been nice if I'd had lumped the posts into chapters of relevance, but since this is more a diary than a how-to book, I have left the posts in the order that I originally wrote them. I don't pretend to be an expert on anything. Nor do I claim to have had rousing success. Kipling told us that we should meet Triumph and Disaster and treat them just the same. I agree.
