Okay, so I caved to the Momwriter collective will and created a blog. What, praytell am I going to say in this thing? I mean, I am the QUEEN of rambling, hell I have made a career of it. But there is something slightly peculiar about this whole blogging thing. I feel like it's something I should do naked with the lights out.

Well, I guess I will start with an introduction. My name is Kim and I am a writer. No, not a wannabe writer, but I writer. I have been writing professionally for over five years, but it's only been in the last 2 years that I have takene it seriously. That sounds funny I know, but the first three writing years were spend writing business plans and doing marketing research. Pay was great, but talk about MINDNUMBING!!!!

Finally after arguing with a wannabe pornosite king about how to best advertise for clients..customer...sick bastards that need a different hobby, I left the business writing field and focused on writing the Great American Novel. Well, I am still working on that...but I discovered my niche, my passion, my voice, if you will - Essay writing. I love writing essays! I can say what I want about whatever I want and people read it. I have had some moderate success finding markets for my work, and I am sure I will have even more success in the future.

Somewhere in the middle of all this, I discovered that I really like editing. Both kinds of editing, both book editing and management for ezines and publications. As if I don't have enough to do, I am about to launch an ezine for everything about nothing. It's called Writer's Stew, and I am so stoked about it! It should be a fun ride.

Gee, for someone who was wondering how she was going to fill a blog, I don't seem to be having much trouble. :-)

Let's see, where was I? Oh, I have a family and a dog, and three crazy cats. I like to do crafts, and I have a job that I don't hate, but I can't say I dance my way to work everyday either. One day, I will walk into that call center, and tell them where to put their designer headsets and their customer service attitude! Hopefully, one day soon..but until then, I suck it up and act like the team player that I am.

Well, that's all I really feel like saying for now. I will probably come back and post more later. I think this will be the home for the thoughts that I have that I should not share with the general public. Yeah, I know, this is a public blog, but hey, it's mine, ya know?

Later!
