Well then.... there's a place to start....

I've been bouncing a story idea round in my head.  It seemed like a good theme for a rollicking fun book that I'd like to read, so I presented it to an author I'm acquainted with.  "Sounds great!  Have fun writing the story!" is what I'll boil his advice down to.  There was also something about "I'll help you", and "If you don't use the idea I'll drop it into MY story idea file".

So, here I am, taking baby steps on the path of learning to write.  Why?  Because I want to read this blasted story, and the only way is to write it myself!

Towards that end, I'm making some things happen, to be discussed later if I get over my embarrassment at being a noob once again in life.  In that vein, today I gathered all my various ideas and bits or stories already begun, and dumped them into a 'projects' folder for ease of access.

For giggles, I added word counts.   Almost 20,000 words written across a handful of ideas.  20,000.... that surprised me.

None of that includes blog posts, FB stuff, LinkedIn articles, etc.

Hmm....
