It's time

Time: 2:50 pm
Location: J subway to Manhattan
Weather: cool, but sunny
Mood: cool, but sunny

So, as my life path begins to coalesce into something, I'm going to
pursue this blog more seriously, so begin expecting new posts on a
regular basis.

This blog will now be focusing on my journey as a writer. What I do on
a day to day basis to pursue my dreams. I'll write about my research
here, any tips I pick up from other writers and all that sort of
material.

So, let me put myself out on the table. I write plays, screenplays and
novels. I did write poetry, but I'm not really interested in pursuing
that any longer. I am adding journalism to my writing bits. I guess
you could call that non-fiction, but where's the fun in that.

I have two computers at present, both macs. I write screenplays and
stageplays with FinalDraft 7, and write my novels with Scrivener. I
usually do a lot of writing by hand in moleskine notebooks, especially
useful on the subway. Currently, I'm trying to get my novel into a
publishable state. I'm writing a new musical to be performed in bars,
writing a screen version of a friend's one man show, and starting on
my second novel. I also write a lot of SEO articles, which are Search
Engine Optimization texts designed to bring more googlers to your
site. It can be pretty mind numbing.

Okay, so, next post will deal with the exact natures of the projects
I'm invovled in.
