How to begin? That's always the first question--be it a new blog, book or year.  Funny thing is, you never know until you begin it. 

So just what is this new blog I'm beginning? All I know is  I'll  try to do it as often as I can (bi-weekly, but there are no promises)--and share with  curious readers, serious writers and those with nothing better to read what I know about writing, which like life, seems less the older I get. Yet teaching has taught me some fundamental truths about developing plots, and  creating  believable characters, settings and dialogue  that I hope will be helpful to others. I'll also try to answer questions that are sent to me.
