Writer's Building Blocks

I used to be so good about updating this blog, but in the last couple of months I've been uncharacteristically quiet. Part of the reason is that I'm on Twitter more and more--see left--and the rest of the reason toggles between life in the Land of the Unplugged and the fact that I have actual writing projects offline.

This last bit is a big deal for me, as it was the entire impetus for starting this blog in the first place. I wanted to be in the habit of writing, and of thinking about everyday things in a storytelling light. I had hoped that this exercise would inspire me to create fictional narratives, and it did.

I have hopes that at least one of my ideas will culminate in something tangible, like a webcomic or (dare I dream?) something printed on paper and displayed on retail bookshelves. For now, I am very excited to have these things as they are--story fragments scribbled in a nearly full notebook, random sketches, and a mind ready to create.
