I believe in transparency and directness. I don’t subscribe to the theory that one should present “the professional writer” face on one’s website, shunting everything else to other venues.“Professional writer” is but one role I play.
If you’ve come here for anything, and if you decide to return, I hope it’s to share with me a passionate engagement with the world, whether through fiction or otherwise.
I have a musical background: Went to Oberlin College (though not in the Conservatory) as an undergrad 1965-69, did chorus and some leads in lots of Gilbert & Sullivan, sang in many choirs and a few local operas, went nuts for Wagner in my early twenties, then heavily into Bob Dylan, played many instruments from fourth grade on, and so forth.
Kerouac headed for the road… I have come very late to Jack Kerouac, but I’m getting there. On the Road lies buried beneath piles of unfinished books, to be exhumed eventually.
And thus a new web log is launched, and I now join the ranks of those bloggerrific folks who instantly publish to however many readers care to read, to however many commenters care to comment.
