Background:
I’ve been toying with the idea of writing for a while. Whirl is a very, very small step in that direction.
Here’s the plan:
- Benefit for your honest advice and criticism (if a story sucks, please tell me why).
- Retire from my current career at sixty five to a small pittance (I believe in Social Security!)
- Start living the writer’s life: unstable income; spam hash for dinner; and a constant barrage of rejection.
So now comes the harder step. Throwing the thing open to a wider audience and hoping it sticks. Please help me by leaving your comments and feedback. And if you like a story, please tell your friends and send them the link. Links into a blog are its lifeblood.
This is definitely a work in progress. I will return to various essays from time to time and continue to polish them. So thanks in advance for your feedback
Here are a few final words of caution. I use frank and often vivid language—it isn’t pornographic, but it is about real life, and most real people I know drop the f-word now and then.
Subject Guidelines:
- This blog will be about damn near anything.
- The language will not stop at PG13.
- Politics will tend to run liberal/libertarian on social issues to moderate on economic issues.
- The post will be longer—more essay than blog.
- Comments are moderated.
