So I was thinking about starting a blog, I was trying to think of a theme, or a hook that the blog could have. There was a guy who did a Year of Billy Joel, writing (and posting daily) about Billy Joel’s music. And that seemed pretty cool, and I was thinking about doing “A Year Of Batman” re-reading my Batman comic collection and posting an issue a day, and I was going to start on New Years Day, but then The Boy came down with Flu “B” and spent the first 19 days of the year in the hospital. So there went that idea.

 

Then, I came across this on Twitter.

Use your blog to connect. Use it as you. Don’t ˙network” or ˙promote.” Just talk. NEIL GAIMAN

And let’s face it, who am I to argue with the man behind Sandman? (Or American Gods?)

So, I’m going to talk here. I’m going to talk about a lot of things. Some movie, TV, and book opinions, some life events, you know, little of this little of that.

Ok, so let’s dive in, ok?

I’m excited about getting back to work on a story I’m writing that I haven’t worked on in a while but based on “last modified” dates, I’ve been working on for four years.

It’s currently at 18 pages.

And then I read this

So I was wound up and ready to go, and discovered that none of the versions on my laptop were current enough and I had to find the flash drive where the latest iteration was. So I did that, and was all ready to start, then, my father in law took a turn for the worse and passed, so the last three days were consumed by more important things.

 

Tomorrow’s a new day, though. Join me on the journey?
