Just a baby blogger

Baby Blogger Sometimes growth steps are not easy to take. I have never been good at making journal entries at any given point in my vast 37 years. So, the documentation of my life is limited to random journals with gaps that can span years. That is until about 5 years ago when I started writing my first book; a autobiographical novel called "Mystics & Mobsters". I like to say that the book is my life - with a twist. Many twists actually. Any similarities of the characters to real people were purely on purpose. But not all stories are necessarily or completely true. So...the growth steps began 5 years ago with a blogger book to make up for lost time. This was great! A purging process that left me much healthier and happier with my life at the present. But what about a daily entry - or monthly for that matter? I tired last year to start blogging but it didn't take. If I can steal from the cinematic masterpiece "What About Bob?" I know I need to take baby steps. The giant-sized leaps experienced in writing a book accomplished some good but it's not like people have it on the book shelves at home. I need to take another crack at this blog thing and see where it takes me. I'll try blogging on various topics because, obviously, I like to write. But my goal will be to establish a relationship with you the reader, as much as with myself (who stands to benefit the most?) I do - I'm sure. But that's OK. Will you come with me on this journey? I can share with you if you'd like to peek into my life. Some new projects are around the corner that you may find interesting. A new book that is just now going to press after over 2 years of development will hopefully be released at the beginning of 2010! The working title is "The Tentacle Prophecy" and will satisfy those into the techno-thriller book world. New music will be coming to be sure. For those that have demanded a new instrumental project - thank you for your patience - It's coming! There is much more to say - but I need you. I need you to hold me to task. I need you to call me out when my words are confusing or ill-timed. But most of all, I need you to go with me on this journey to remind me that writing is not only about the purging, but the sharing. I want to share with you - my new friends -  a life that is in the making by a God that made everything. I'll promise to keep in touch. But like that friend that signs your high school year book with the same promise, I may not follow through unless you do the same. In the mean time, I'll be taking baby steps towards true blogging freedom! God bless - we'll talk again soon.
