Site Note:

This is my little corner of the vast internet world. It’s my space, my face to the world, it was created to…to? To, what exactly? What was my intention when I purchased the site’s name, registered it, rent cyber space for it, spend time on it?

I first came to the internet to figure out how to get published and ended up a reviewer, copy editor, editor, blogger, writer, still reviewing.

I don’t know who all sees me and I’ve been asking the question – does it matter if anyone does?

The truth is…it doesn’t. It doesn’t matter if 1 or a billion sees me, or you, I’ll/you’ll always see myself/yourself. What’s that line…wherever you go; there you are. We all carry our own baggage.

There’s no escaping who we are…I don’t want to escape myself. I want to be me and with that, here I am, all of me.
