Welcome and thank you

Hi there.

I guess starting a blog first requires the writer to explain why he or she started the blog in the first place. Seems like a simple place to start and common manners would suggest it's accurate.

My problem- well, an explanation of my reasons isn't that simple. I could try to make it simple, but you would all think I was writing from the inside of a specialized institution. Unless my boyfriend's living room counts, I'm not.

So, the history...
All the madness started when I had a free summer in 2009 and wasn't sure what to do with myself. I was working lonely third shifts at a small, struggling hotel. No one to really keep my company from 11pm to 7am but myself and the occasional drifter. The job also required only about 3 hours of work in an 8 hour shift, leaving a lot of time on my hands. When I got really good at it, it was only 2 hours of work... Five or six hours with nothing to do but read or surf the net. Joy...

Then, it hit me. Not like a ton of bricks, but with the sly, slow draw of a dashing gentleman. Or, woman in my case. This small scene kept playing through my mind every shift at about the same time. Each time, I wonder a little more about it and a little more would be revealed.

Finally, I decided to write it down. I've always been a writer, usually just of short stories or ramblings never anything as grandiose as this has become.... but I ramble. So, I started writing... and writing... and writing. I have two self-published books in the Tuatha Destiny series and am currently trying to finish the third. But that won't be the end of it. I have an ongoing, online serial The Story of Sebastian on Wattpad and I know the next series will be Children of Destiny... It never ends. In fact, more characters keep adding to the insanity in my overfull head. I think I might have to buy some extra cranial property for them.

And, yes, occasionally there are a few characters that will comment on my day to day living when it suits them. Usually when I'm too tired to keep it in check. What can I say, I've always had an overactive imagination.

I don't really expect anyone to follow my blog. If you do, well kudos and welcome to the madness. Since I'm not expecting a huge turnout... this will probably be the most honest thing I ever write.
