Greetings

Hi!

This is my second attempt at creating a blog. Let's see if this time I actually do anything with it.

Here's a little info about me.

Yes, I am an author. No, I am not published... yet. I'm very close to finishing my third book, and this one is definitely good enough to get published (everyone who's read pieces of it agrees that they've read published books that aren't near as good). My previous two I never felt that they were ready, but I grew a lot as an author by writing them. I'm currently on chapter 16 out of 20 and 63.5K words. I sometimes call it Janus and Thena, and sometimes I call it Monks and Magisters. I don't know what I'm going to do for a final title, but the book's going to be awesome. I'll give more info later.

I also work as a software developer. Part of the reason I never did anything with my other blog is because I was too annoyed at the limitations in blogs. I make web applications for a living, so blogs seem overly simple to me. I'd rather have direct control over how the data is stored and retrieved, but I don't have anywhere else that I can host a website for free that I wouldn't get in trouble for. So, I'm creating a blog.

I've been married for five years, and my beautiful wife and I have two children. I won't be referring to any of them by name. Instead I will refer to them either by relationship or by initial. My wife is B, my son is S, and my daughter is V.

I guess that's it for now. I'm going to try to post at least once a week. Probably Sundays or Mondays.
