This Blog thing...

So, this is the blog thing, eh?

Why not start one? Because I don't have time.
 Why don't I have time? School.
School? Yes school.

This is my fourth attempt at a blog. One of these attempts was semi-sort-of-maybe successful. I was forced to write it at gun-point, against my will, on pain of death, the discretion of a marking rubric. It was focused on chick-flicks which I guess isn't really an ingenious idea... but it worked and I watched girly movies as a part of school based work. It was an adventure and a half.

I guess I'm starting this blog as a branch-off for what I'd like to do in the future which is being an author. I've had a few suggestions for which direction I should take genre wise (Romance, Mystery, Fiction, Teen Fiction) but ultimately, I guess my goal is to really have a book of every genre. Far-fetched goal I guess for some people... Not really I say! You see, I work in a book store and therefore have a vague idea of what the market is really like.

Well at least I thought I did before I started shelving "legitimate," "books" by Tyra Banks, Hilary Duff, Lauren Conrad and most disappointing, Snookie and J-Wow. What is it that they have that I don't? Oh yes, established fame wherein they can produce crap en mass and actually have people who spend hard earned money on these tree-killing horrors. Poor children are starving in Africa and with the money you just spent on that book J-Wow is selling, yes, you can feed a hut of twelve, plus send little Aisha to school. Yes you can!

So I guess - before I go into a long winded rant about how life isn't fair, because I realize that this is a tired and therefore already widely accepted fact - this is it. This is the blog thing. I'm not really sure what my blog will be about at this point - look for rants, book reviews, writing updates and possibly in the future, publishing news.

This is a non-discriminatory blog in which all subjects will be addressed, yes, even that one that you're thinking about Blog stalker... even that.








... Maybe not.
