Harken Unto Me, Oh Friends and Fiends!

Welcome all.
This is to be my first foray into the world of blogging. I have kept an online journal for years which is rarely updated and poorly organized as it is mainly random comments about my life which I feel free to post without censor or thought. These may be seen at my Deviant Art account.
This is more formal, perhaps, or at least more intended to be a professional situation. As a writer it is partly my duty to be present in and amongst the public I wish to write to. Do not feel, oh esteemed reader, that I am forced to be here. I greatly enjoy the public and all its peoples, though some are grating while others fair. I will undoubtedly not sound this formal as we continue, but I suppose I wanted to set the write tone. (Terrible pun, I realize.)
Friends, for all my formality, I am following my hero in the hopes of achieving what he has, and what so few have. In his book Angels & Visitations my hero, Neil Gaiman, says, "indeed, it sometimes occurs to me that when I began I had little talent, merely the conviction that I was a writer, and enough arrogance and hubris to persist." I am in this stage of my own career.
I will post what I can here, be it writing, or links to something important or perhaps more unimportant, but entertaining, or nothing at all of value save updates concerning myself as a writer, from publishing, one can only hope, to signings, and other such vestiges of professionalism.
Thank you all for visiting and I pray you enjoy yourselves.
