I love writing.

When I sit down to write a short story or even a novel, I know how it begins and how it ends. Everything in between is a surprise that unfolds to me one paragraph at a time. I love creating eclectic characters and unusual settings, bizarre plots, humorous twists, and then, hopefully, melding them together into something that is as entertaining for others to read as it was to me when I wrote it. I mean it, too. Sometimes, I get so caught up in the story that I am working on, that I'll find myself laughing with a character's antics or story's latest twist. And when a reader, friend, fellow writer, agent or publisher tells me that they got a kick out of one of my stories or even just a particular part, well, that really makes my day. That's not to say I haven't gotten more than my share of blank stares, tsks, and sighs from those who have read my stories. Then again, family probably doesn't count.

So how does any of this relate to my web site? Hopefully, anyone who knows me well enough would probably agree that I am not suited for the business of BSP --blatant self promotion. But, let's face it, it's the primary reason writers have web sites. Well, if it helps me to be able to continue writing, I guess I'll have to make the best of it.
