I Did it My Way

It was with pen, pad and a totally open mind that I sat at my desk this morning.  I promised myself I would allow all of today to concentrate on learning more about blogging.  I would like viewers to enjoy my entries and attachments so I set about reading a lot of others to get the feel of the blog author. 

                I was to find out rather quickly that my days of note-taking were not over.  Memorising a sequence of actions was never going to work, but the day was saved by the use of an ancient skill.  I formed lists of instructions using the written word… yes, I did it my way.  I concluded my day of study with a feeling of accomplishment.  This was thanks in no small part to WordPress and the support available. 

                As a writer I understand the need for useful sites and it occurred to me that providing a handful of choice links would be beneficial to any viewers to my blog.  The site links I’ve listed do improve my blog’s appearance, but they were chosen because I use all of them and therefore would recommend them. 

                I can sense fingers twitching over mouse buttons out there.  Don’t just leave, check out a link you don’t recognise.  Before you go, please remember to leave me a comment and contact so I can get back to you and your site. 

 

Hello and welcome!

I am presently convalescing and therefore have the opportunity of a few days to kick-start my blog.  Three days ago I had my gallbladder removed so I’m not moving around too quickly.  The holes made during the operation may have been small but it feels as if the offending organ put up a fight against it’s eviction. 

So that it doesn’t come across as just another gush of personal blurb I’ve decided to share some of my efforts.  I would appreciate any and all comments on my writing.  As a novice at this particular idea (the blog), I’ve set it up with a link to my poetry, included some short stories and introduced my autobiography with the first chapter in it’s entirety. 

As things stand I want to embrace the blog as a means of self-expression, a marketing tool and a social link.  If you’re a writer and you happen by, please leave me your thoughts on what you find here and a link to your own work. 

Please take a look around, enjoy and comment.     Tom
