Hello and Welcome

After much prodding from family and friends, I have finally decided to start a blog.

I'm hoping this will be a way of keeping everyone up to date on what's going on with me. I'm not sure exactly what form the posts will take (I'm guessing a mix of pictures, links, and text), but we'll see what it turns into as we go. I'll try to post things regularly but apologies upfront for any lag. I'm fairly certain the PhD and teaching will kick my butt, leaving me with little time for much else.

Mostly this blog is a solution to one of my concerns. I'm going to school to learn about writing and to teach writing, but I myself don't write nearly enough. Most writers write all the time, and I'm hoping this gives me a reason to write more than I have been lately.

I've thoroughly enjoyed following a few blogs in the last year, and I hope you'll follow mine.I would love comments on anything and everything. If I can't see you all in person, at least I can hear from you here.

And with all that said, welcome! I'm glad you stopped by and hope you find your way back again soon.
