i have ten minutes

to outline my reasons for starting this blog. jeebus.

#1: i'm a writer. writers have blogs. ergo, the dull yellow eye is born.

hm. i've just used up seven of my ten minutes. maybe my goal should be to have a new reason each week for keeping this blog alive. new exercises, book reviews, writing prompts, stories about my adventures in writing and publishing . . . i like it. starting today--this very minute--the dull yellow eye has a purpose! *thunder claps*

oh, and here's a solid article about the benefits of writer blogs:

next entry: i explain about the whole dull yellow eye thing. (or, if you don't wanna wait, scan down to the mary shelley quote at bottom. but then, there's more to it. there always is, isn't there?)

good night, all, and good writing.
