All the tales of miracles, with which the Old and New Testament are filled, are fit only for impostors to preach and fools to believe.

1st Post (for me)

I hardly ever write.

As far back as I care to go, I’ve loved stories above all things. Movies, books, games, anything really. I have poured for hours over PnP Sourcebooks, never with intent to play, but intrigued by their deep mythologies. I have played games I hate simpy for the cutscenes, waded through menus and shoddy control schemes desperate for that last scrap of story, constantly searching for any new facet of those miniature worlds. I have read books until the pages yellowed under my fingers and I could skip entire pages because I knew every single word on them, even their placement and formatting. I really do love stories that much. The first of the very few things I have ever stolen, and the only one I ever kept, was a book from school.

The point, if there is one, is that I always hoped that someday I might write stories, but, as has been pointed out many, many times by my friend(s), that can only happen if I ever sit down to write.

So…here we are, me and you, the interminable void of the internet and this endlessly white page. I have to admit I feel a little nauseous, but bear with me, and there could be some good times ahead.

And possibly some vomiting. Time will tell.

  1. As long as it’s creative vomiting, I’m all for it. Just make sure not to get any on my shoes.

  2. Holy crap, the first thing I ever stole was a book as well! I was in the second grade in California and it was a Disney book called “The Aristocats.” I thought the pictures were beautiful.
