The reasons for this blog: 1. To provide basic author information for students, teachers, librarians, etc. (Please see sidebar) 2. I think out loud a lot as I work through writing projects, and I'm trying to dump most of those thoughts here rather than on my friends.

side note
If you're wondering why kids don't read anymore, don't blame video games and movie and iPods. Blame the boring bland sh*t that's forced down their throats in school in the name of teaching them to read. Why should they have any inkling of the excitement of story and character when they've never seen it? I'd pick video games and movies too, if I were them.
