If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the Universe…

Well, I’m not going quite that far back to basics.  But everything needs a place to start.  Therefore I offer you this post.  Having just started this blog back up it is extremely likely, in fact I’d lay down money on it, that it’ll probably suck.  Not only that, but you probably won’t even be reading it, as no one will be able to find the damn thing to start with.  But that’s ok.

This is actually my second starting post.  The first time around the blog was taken over by comment spam in slavic languages after I forgot to turn on Akismet spam filtering and left it to fester for about a month.

Not so this time.  This time I happily report that I am already up to two–count em, two–posts.  That is statistically speaking a 100% improvement so far on my previous attentiveness to this blog.  And I guarantee there will be more to come.

This blog is to be my creative expression outlet.  I’m trying to get back to writing, and I’ve decided that if I want to seriously give that a chance, then I need to get involved with the writing world.  I need to be more social and interact with the writing community.  This blog is step one in that regard, as I’m going to use it to openly chronicle my exploration back into the world of the written word.
