My first post . Welcome to me!

Welcome to me!  I am the most interesting person ever in the world.  I will prove it.

My cat's name is Q.  He is the Darth Vader of all kitties.  I have read The Lord of the Rings 5 times.  OK, I know there are people who have done way better than that.  I don't care.  I live in the most beautiful city in the world.  It has a big flat mountain on one side and the ocean on the rest of the sides.  I like playing Assassin's Creed for PC.  I have run and climbed on the walls of Jerusalem during the Third Crusade and I have climbed to the roof of the Vatican in the early 1500s.  At the same time I make war with the Orcs of the White Hand.  Meanwhile, in another parallel universe, the hero is saving the damsel in distress from rats with toothpicks.  I really, truly love fire.  Especially fire that appears out of thin air.

My mind is a dagerous, volatile place.  It spontaneously combusts at the worst possible moments.  It keeps me occupied.  It keeps me interested.  And it keeps the people around me somewhat scared and in awe.

I am writing my first serious book.  I have a mentor who suggested that my blog be more about me.  I can't think why ;)

This blog will follow my epic journey through writing my book.  I will often blog about my writing experience, but not always.  You will get glimpses into my own little world.  The world I have been creating since I was very little.  Most of all, I will strive to be pathelogically honest in this blog.  Or I won't blog about it if I can't be honest about it.

Welcome to my world.  May you linger here in peace, in awe and maybe with some mirth.

  8. Thanks to everybody for your great wishes. Brooke: yes, I still do that. Something to keep an eye on. The rats are the ones with the toothpicks, anyway.
