Dusting off a few rabbit trails.

Since I haven't been writing for NaNo like I'd hoped (yeah, you read that - hoped; I had no particular zest behind it this year), I've been cleaning up a few loose ends of stories that have been swirling around between my ears.
Completed:

• a poem to my grandfather
• The Reproductive Habits of Lagomorpha leporidae pulvilagus
• several blogs (I write three...happy hunting!)
• journaling - I can't tell you how long it's been since I've journaled; there's a lot going on right now

I have a short list of story ideas still to be fleshed out. Wonder if these little tidbits can be part of my NaNo word count? It's writing, after all... And who knows - maybe my novel's not actually about Achilles? Maybe it's a psychological study of a writer...!

One long cry from the heart of the artist...

Welcome to my blog! This is a terribly mundane first post, something akin to a college syllabus.

(I always wondered why college level English professors distributed the syllabus and then proceeded to read them out loud to their classes. Wasn't reading one of the requirements for taking that course?)

It is my hope that this course --- I mean blog, of course, will be a glimpse into my writing life and style. And that you, my reader, will come away with the impression that I am talented, intuitive, gracious without being a pushover, professional without being snobbish, reliable, hard-working, confident, and the perfect writer for your project. (I do not struggle with hubris.)

So, read on!
