Greetings

Welcome to my writing journal. In this slim volume of virtual pages, I shall attempt a little play, practice, experimentation, or exploration of my writing every day. To protect the unsuspecting from this collection of oddities, however, this journal is LOCKED. Only those whom I've met and know will be added as Friends. Thank you.

I had a thought, before you get too far into writing these fun little snippets and before the weird proofreader/editor bug that occasionally bites me rears it's malleable (you know, ugly and cute by turns...) head -

Have you thought about what level of audience participation you'd like on this blog? Do you want crits or just the occasional positive comment?

Will you tell me if I'm being stupid? And will you tell me, if necessary, that good little girls should be seen and not heard? :)

You're not being stupid, it's definitely a good question. I want this journal to serve as a safe place to keep my writing muscles flexible and happy. Y'know, so I don't spend 9 hours trying to sculpt a fragment of description, like I did the last time I wrote creatively. ;) So I'd love to hear if one of these bits catches your interest or if you liked a certain turn of phrase, but I'd rather not receive criticism on *this* stuff.

I usually save the criticism part of my writing process for the finished product. That way, even if I don't like hearing what I know I need to hear, I feel confident enough in what I've created to keep working on it. This stuff is just ideas, just play, so if it gets criticized, I may just stop writing it...which sorta defeats the whole purpose. :) So, please, indulge in any comments and/or interest you like, but...no criticism.

Coolio yo! :)
