Welcome everybody! So this is my first attempt at a blog and I must admit I feel just a wee bit cooler and more urban than I do on an ordinary day. It's about time I jumped into the blog-o-verse or whatever it's called. After all, this is San Francisco, man, and everybody here is very webby.
But, while I may be living in the birthplace of the Flower Children (and they are still around, let me tell you, wrinkled as old plums and oddly out of step with the rest of the world, but doing their thing and loving it, bless them), the most chilled city on the West Coast, possibly in the whole United States, I am still me and therefore I have goals for this little venture.
First, it's a way to keep people in touch with what I'm up to which I'm sure will be a tremendous comfort to my mother, far-flung friends and random folk who accidentally stumble onto this page. Second, I actually feel a physical need to write something because while I have trotted out 20,000 words of a second novel I stopped my daily writing exercises as soon as I got the ruddy job at the ruddy bookstore, which means I am starting to lose faith, and am growing frustrated and morose. And bitchy.
And last of all, I am sick to death of people saying, "Oh, you're a writer? So do you have a blog?" Seriously, it comes up at least once a week, and people look at me with these encouraging, expectant California grins while I kind of shuffle my feet and turn pink and say, "Um, no. I'm not really a technical person." Well, I'm still not, but now I do.
