My Very First Blog
Friday, October 22, 2004
So, I've been thinking about this for a very long time. "Hey, a blog might be nice..." And finally, I thought... Oh, what the heck... I'll do it!
Now, don't expect any rocket science here. I'm just a normal person, in fact, I'm more boring than your average person, so there won't be long tales of late nights and sordid deeds... I'm afraid I'm a quiet person who spend most evenings alone with a book.
My most fascinating trait is one people wouldn't see or know about... My avid imagination. (Not always a good thing, mind you! When I'm walking home late at night I see monsters and murderers --and possibly a werewolf-- in every street corner.) I'm spending most of my time creating things in my head... characters, plots, places... and have them act them out.
Lately I've finally started to work on something that has been a dream of mine since I was a silly little girl with a bad perm (I think I was 13), and I've started writing on a book.
I used to say that I wanted to write fantasy, and I still do... But for now I'm writing a Romance novel (pff... I see you scoffing, stop right there... romance is the best selling genre there is!)
It's quite simple really... I love writing... I'm a hopeless romantic... Why shouldn't I write romance novels? I wrote some fantasy (still do for short stories) but no matter what I started writing my characters always ended up falling in love with each other! So I gave up, and now I just write romance and save myself the trouble of trying to prevent them from falling in love =) (In fact, now I encourage it by putting them in compromising situations... *evil laughter*)
Oh, did I mention I'm a bit off-kilter? People just don't realise until they get to know me a bit better, but I have a very odd sense of humour.
Anyway, this is my very first blog, and a very odd one at that, maybe I should have spent more time talking about my day at work (which was very boring btw, if you were wondering) or how bad the weather is (it's actually not raining for once) instead of spending most of the entry talking about my writing. But! It was more fun this way... at least for me... =)
