What's this all about?

I write for a living. Well, at least part of my living comes from my writing. Another part of my living comes from the thinking that comes before the writing.

Professionally, I'm not usually at a loss for words. As a reporter, I wrote about what I observed, what people said to me, and the things they did.

As the spokesman for a large Long Island town, I write about what's happening in the town.

As a speechwriter, I put words in other people's mouths and ideas in their heads, and then they say the words and perhaps adopt the ideas.

Now, as a blogger, I'll try to do all three: chronicle my observations, describe the people I'm interested in, and perhaps, plant some ideas and solicit some feedback.

Let's see if anyone is interested.

I'm interested! I'm glad you have a blog.

I noticed that you said "99.9% non fiction" as your response to "book interests." Don't you think giving a mere .1% is slighting a particularly loveable magician/outstanding Quiddich player we have come to adore?
