Preamble

Maybe I shouldn't do a Preamble.  It's kind of a weighty gesture, isn't it? I mean, since I'm not exactly sure what this blog is going to "amble", preambling my amble would set up certain expectations on the quality of the ambling to follow.  I suppose the alternative to the Preamble is the Mission Statement, but that seems a bit gutsy and, let's face it, a tad narcissistic.  So I'm just going to get straight to the ambling: this is my new blog, I hope it is good.  I am super excited about getting into a regular writing routine, although I have to admit there is a strong temptation to hold down the backspace button over that bit about a "regular writing routine." Actually, to be quite frank, there is a strong temptation to hold down the backspace button over a most of what I write, so I guess if I was forced to make a mission statement, it would go something like "endeavoring to delete fewer words per minute" or "exploring parentheses within parentheses: faux pas or faux yah?"  (Totally faux yah. (I think these are fascinating diversions.) ) So, there you have it, "wordsplace" is my new words place!! Cue the ninety-nine luftballoons and -goshdarnit- where is a pair of oversized ceremonial scissors when you need them?!!  Oh well.  Enjoy, and don't forget to comment- I love comments.
