A Bit of Background
Blogging used to be somewhat of a passion of mine. Perhaps it can be again. My old blog, having been snuffed out of existence about 10 years ago, was just as random as this new one will likely be. It is likely to contain my many rants, random thoughts, and occasional philosophical meanderings. I will, as a general rule, shy away from politically motivated posts, as those tend to draw contention.
My interests and hobbies are varied. I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, hunting, and fishing. I can also be found indoors playing video games, working on websites, and spending time with my wife and two children. My writing will likely make references to any or all of the above at one time or another. I also enjoy rambling, as the reader will note.
Goals
My first and foremost goal is simply to write and to become better at writing. Secondarily, I hope to share my thoughts, and perhaps, to benefit a reader out there through either inspiring him to write as I do, or simply that my writing will be of some benefit to the reader. Another, slightly self-serving, goal is to gain somewhat of a following. This will be beneficial if I ever happen to finish any of the novels I've been working on as I can promote them here.
My goal for frequency posts is approximately one per week. If I can achieve that goal at a minimum, then I feel this blog will be worthwhile. Any less than that frequency, on a regular basis, will not be of significant benefit to either myself or the reader.
Motivation
My motivation lies mainly in the fact that writing is an outlet for me. I find it terribly therapeutic. As I have often done before at the start of the new year, I made a resolution to begin a new blog, or perhaps, a continuation of my old blog which can probably only be found on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine at this point. So, I suppose it could be said that I've resolved to maintain this blog in the upcoming year.
