When it comes to anything related to the web I look at it through the eyes of a website designer. For me to have my own personal blog has been a struggle between the writer in me and the visual designer in me.

The writer said, “Just start writing and get your words out. Don’t worry about what the website looks like.”

The designer in me raised one eyebrow, stared directly into my soul, and said, “You know that you need to create a custom design for your blog and have it looking beautiful before you even think about writing anything.”

So like I said, it was a struggle. In the end the writer won. I don’t know exactly how he won, and to be honest, the designer in me still winces in pain when he sees that I used a generic pre-made template for my blog. I guess the writer finally convinced him that I didn’t have time to design something new from scratch and the compromise would be that I would slowly update the site. That seems fair to me.

Now you are wondering what I’m going to write here aren’t you? I plan to use this space to write about writing, to write about books I’m reading, brainstorming, share cool things I’ve discovered, and of course some of my fiction.

I’m going to have a lot of fun with this blog and I hope you enjoy it.
