| Introduction | Welcome to my blog! I'm glad you stopped by. My purpose of the blog is to share some of the autobiographic essays that are in draft form that need to come out of my head and on to "paper". The work that I'll post here are very much in draft form, but I would love to to hear your comments and suggestions, as I begin developing them into something more substantial (or decide they're not work it and start on something new). I just finished a major project and am now ready to start something new. Your comments and thoughts on my little works in progress will be very helpful! |
