A version of the real me.

I started this blog five days ago, then deleted it in frustration three days ago, citing to myself the usual suspects: nothing to say, and nothing worth saying.  I have a lot to learn about this blogging thing, but alongside that I gotta figure out why I'm starting one.  I think I want to make it a journal-y endeavor for myself, but not just for myself.  There seems to be a ready-made audience for this "sphere," and I don't know squat about that audience yet.  Maybe that'll become clearer as I work it out.

Maybe I have nothing to say, but I'm gonna say it anyway.  This blog'll perhaps be a way for me to work through my writing hangups and get to that confidence point again. 

Funny thing is I teach English for a living.  I'm a lot like my weakest writers--nothing to say, nothing worth saying--except with better grammar and punctuation skills.
