Writing science fiction and probably some fantasy, and I&#8217;ve learned to pay more attention to people and look at the motivations behind their actions. Watching what people do and figuring out why they do it is a good source of understanding on how to write characters. </p> <p>So, what is a blog? A spot to vent? Maybe a place to put down deep thoughts? </p> <p>My definition, a purpose for the domain I&#8217;ve had for years and never did anything with. Besides, I guess this could also be a spot for putting down long winded rants about bad intros and bland dialog, amongst other writing issues that drive me crazy. If I&#8217;m lucky I might get in a dozen posts this year, well, I can dream. If not, at least there will be a note for anyone letting them know why there isn&#8217;t much here, and may never be. Who knows, one day I might find I like it and feed the site regularly.
