How many blogs can a blogger blog if a blogger could blog… ummm… wood?

Sorry, that kinda died out on me there, I couldn’t come up with a good ending. I had fog, dog, and bog, the easy ones, but I never take the easy ones. Plus, it wouldn’t have made sense anyway.

Oh sure, I could have just not written that at all since it didn’t work, but that’s not how I swing baby. Once i start something, I commit. I stay with it and beat it until it’s unrecognizable. Like right now, you are SO wishing I would move on…

Okay, okay.

The thing is, I am writing a lot these days. This is my second blog and I also write for a website. So , what the frak am I doing here? FIrst of all, I wanted a place where I could write the word frak all the time and have it make sense to people.

Frak, frak, frak.

Hmmmm. That’s not as appealing as I thought it would be. Sounds like a duck.

Still, I’m looking forward to using it in almost every post I write.

I’m also here because I love scifi and fantasy. I also really wanted a chance to work with Shannon, an outstanding writer and all around great person (just don’t tell her I said that). Alas, she also has some rather misguided opinions, so I need to be here to make sure there’s a balanced, critically acclaimed and outstandingly clever voice to counteract them.

I know she’s gotten a head start on me, like over 10 posts so far, but that’s only because she didn’t have to set up the site, configure the server, find a decent WordPress template that didn’t make me throw up, and make sure our posts got stored and backed up properly. Not to worry though. I’m a posting machine, I’ll catch up.

One thing you won’t see from me however, are post times before noon. Shannon gets up at some ungodly hour, like 5am to make her posts. Jeebus. The only time I ever see that time of day is if I’ve been up all night.

Another reason I want to write for this blog is that I have many, many, many opinions. Unlike Shannon’s opinions however, mine are correct. And you need to hear them. They matter and they will enrich your life. I say that because that’s what all bloggers think: we are the center of the universe and we know more than you do. Even if we don’t, it completely irrelevant. That’s the mindset that drives us.

Alrightly then. Let’s get this thing started.

Make it so. (God it’s so great to be a geek).

This is my first post on Sci-fi Jedi so I thought I’d start with a little about who I am and why I’m awesome. Cause even though you don’t know it yet, I am.

For starters I’m a writer. Mostly of fantasy but I do mainstream when the mood hits. I’ve written non fiction too, including articles on writing . I would say I have a great sense of humor but I happen to think that people who say that actually don’t.

In this blog I hope to do several things; first, and most important, to have fun, second to speak my mind and third to annoy the hell and/or offend someone. Those are basically my goals in all aspects of my life and this blog shouldn’t be any different.

However, before we begin this journey together there are several things you should know about me, secrets that I don’t usually let strangers in on. But since you’re about to be spending some time with me I suppose we’re not really going to be strangers. (Read more…)
