Here we go....

So I'm new to this blogging thing.  I thought it might help me out with my writing a little.  I guess I'm a starving artist.  Without the starving part.  I keep a full time job to make sure that there is no starving. 

Well, I'm a writer.  I've written many short stories and poems and have never published them.  That's what I'm working towards at this time.  I have a novel that I've been working on for the last year and a half and I'm almost done.  It's just that I've been saying that I'm almost done for almost a year now.  You know how things get in the way and slow you down; relationships, work and the strange need to some kind of social life (stupid social life need), friends, family and the worst of all, WRITERS BLOCK!!! 

From the moment I learned how to write as a little whelp, it's all I've wanted to do.  I feel lucky in that way.  I've always known exactly what I'm going to be when I grow up and have have spent years learning how hard it is to become a published writer.  Which only makes me want it even more. 

So what do I like to write?  Fantasy and science fiction.  Mostly fantasy.  The Novel I've been pounding out over the last year is a high fantasy, sorcerers vs wizards type.  It's fun and exciting to write.  I've even drawn certain characters and places.  On that note, my mother (who's a VERY good artist) is coming over tonight to show me how to draw foliage (I am also an artist, just not as good as mom).  These aspen leaves are getting the better of me... 

Knock, knock.  Speak of the devil!
