Chapter 1

Only thirty yards stood between Corr and freedom. The tall reeds whipped at his unexposed skin as he ran towards the forest edge. He did his best to protect his face with his hands, but every step he took was more painful than the last. He knew that once he passed the edge of the Riverlands and entered the lowland forests of Endrin he would be beyond the outer edge of any patrolmen of the Rhen Alliance.

When he finally reached the forest’s edge

Beginnings. Kind of like endings, but from the other side.

Alright, so it took me quite a long time to figure out what exactly I wanted to accomplish with this new blog.  I’ll save you to introspective trip that I took to get here and just cut to the chase.  I’ve decided to try to take my writing to the next level, possibly even a professional one.  I’m pretty good at it, but I need to improve in a few things before I’ll be able to send anything real out without feeling ashamed of it.  And here on this blog I’m going to chronicle that journey.  I’ll be posting writing exercises, short stories, and sample chapters from the books that I hope to one day write.

But more than just the actual creative writing, I want to talk about what it’s like for me to work on  my writing, the things that I am learning and how I’m getting from point A to point B.  I  may still include random musing about life and funny stories from my life in New York, but for the most part, this will now be a blog about writing.

There’s a long journey ahead of me, and I’d like y’all to be part of it.

[Insert clever sign off phrase here]

Where Am I?
