Welcome

Having a full-time job at a publishing house is great – I get paid every month, and can say that I’m a contributing member of society. The downside is that I don’t often get to write on topics that hold great interest for me; usually I am dictated to or, if I do get to chance to suggest an article for a magazine, I have to think about what others want to read and make the story relate, in some way, to the content of the rest of the magazine. Which means that I have yet to write about how much l loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or the best foods for a last meal. That’s the beauty of a blog – I can write what I want, and to hell with anybody else. I’m going to apologise for my self-serving attitude here and hope I never have to bring it up again.

People who know me personally willbe rather shocked that I’m seeking out the spotlight, coz I’m not like that in real life. I like my little corner, and while I’m happy to entertain one or two people at a time in my corner, I don’t like being dragged out onto stage in front of other people to show them how awesome I am. But here’s another great thing about blogs – I’m pretty much anonymous on this platform. All you’re getting of me are my thoughts and feelings (of which I have many and always willing to share), which are carefully planned and edited before presenting them to the world, which is how I’d like everything in my life to go.

I really won’t be offended if you don’t like my blog. Please don’t feel obliged to come back if the content upsets you. You don’t need to tell me you don’t like it, just pretend like you never foun the little ‘If you wish to contact the author, click here’ button. Positive comments are always welcome, though.
