Howdy  --  5 years ago, I couldn't have envisioned using the word "blog." I didn't know there was a word "blog"--and now I am a "blog" (more correctly, I guess I am actually a 'blogger'). I'm new at this web journal thing, this blogging. I'll be sharing thoughts and ideas from time to time, and I hope that you will add to the conversation appropriately as you have a chance. I'd like the topics to revolve around writing, marketing, creativity, and so on. But we shall see where the trail meanders. 

     My "To Do" list right now includes two books I'm working on, plus a magazine article, some promotional efforts for my book Patience, My Foot!, and a one-man show stageplay about a local character and raconteur. Well, let's see how this goes. Thanks for dropping by, and please come back.   -- Mike
