Introduction
I should be sleeping today so that I will be wide awake for night shift tonight (it will be a long night, especially with no sleep). But I have been kind of shaken by the amount of time and money I put into sending out my last chapbook. And my thoughts on this subject are keeping me up. I experience great joy in writing those stories about my life and in sharing them with others. I'm hoping this blog will be an acceptable alternative. At least for those of you who access the internet. Will you miss getting something other than a bill in your snail mail box? Will I miss holding a hard copy of my chapbooks in my hand? I don't know. I guess we'll just have to try this out and see how it goes. And please give me feedback to help me assess the success or loss that comes from changing venues. There is some excitement and some sadness when moving on along with technology. I am a sentimental fool, I guess. But I still think there is something romantic about getting a letter in my snail mail box.
