Ok, so this is my first post, and you, whoever you are, are probably wondering why another average person is writing another average blog about the boring crap they do everyday. I am not such an individual. But with this first post, I'm going to introduce myself and tell you what to expect from this blog.

So let's talk about me. First, here's my "resume." I'm from Kansas. I studied English - Creative Writing, German and Pre-Law for my undergraduate degree, and now I'm in law school. I've worked at a landscape company, a hardware store, and a law office. Boooring. Now for the fun stuff.

I love anything to do with entertainment. Seriously. Books, television, film, theater, stand-up comedy, art museums, history museums, board games, video games - I love it all. Need I say more? However, there are things I really don't care for. I hate horror films. Can't watch them. I've never read a comic book. Don't get me wrong, I'm open to it and I love superheroes, but just so you know... I love critiquing and writing fiction and poetry in my spare time. I currently have a book and a screenplay in the works, but both are on hold while in law school. And because Hemingway encouraged writers to write a page a day, here I am.

That's all you need to know about me right now, because I believe you'll learn a lot more about me through my future posts, whether I want you to or not. But what am I going to talk about? That's easy.

First, I'm going to talk writing tips - anything for creative writing, technique tips, editing and grammar help, etc. I'm also going to post links, pictures, videos, etc that I find inspirational or great examples of story, theme, character, plot, dialogue, and so on. Seriously, anything I'm interested in that has to do with writing I'll talk about. And that is literally everything.

Second, if something interesting happens (or has happened) in my life that might fall into any of the above categories - I'll talk about it.

Finally, I hope to give you snippets of my own writing  - descriptions, mini stories, and such - to entertain or something. 

And there you have it! All these delightfully vague descriptions of future posts will hopefully mature into fully round and detailed writings that will capture your attention long enough to distract you from reality TV. Oh, and about that - hate reality TV. Absolutely hate it.

Cheerio my darlings,

Verity
