I’m going to head out across the country soon, probably in a month. I’m going to buy some camping gear and try to stay in national & state parks whenever possible. Should be fun!

…as I finally start using this newfangled Twitter thing. Expect more meaningless 140-character blurbs in the near future! Note: I am only posting this to check the wordpress twitter relay.

I would really, really love to have something worth blogging about. Perhaps I should delete facebook (lawyer up and hit the gym?) and divert all the energy I put into jokey status updates to this site.

Here’s what I got. More chapters written than what you see here; this is just the first little vignette, completely unedited. A boy was looking back at her, and the blond girl in the back of the car thought he was cute. He wasn’t really a boy. He was a young man, but Maryanne, at seventeen, hadn’t quite got the… (more…)
