First Post

Well, here it is.
Is it here to stay?

First post in a blog, my blog. Hopefully not my affliction.

Had been thinking of blogging lately - or somethinging. Something to get me writing, to get words down on paper, somewhere to write whateverthehellIwant - but more importantly to compel me to actually do so.

First questions come first and will be addressed first, in part:
'An open-ended set of bushwalks' - look up '6 Walks in the Fictional Woods'.
Book starts well, becomes average. But the metafictional stance is interesting, and particularly the interesting meaning and metaphor of the title.
Open-ended because blogs aren't book length; they start, and they either get updated or not. Bushwalks because 'walking in the woods' is entirely inappropriate, obviously, and because my forests are not necessarily fictional. Though I wouldn't be surprised if often there are connections.

But then, as we know, there are always connections.

Til next time, I shall be thinking of something interesting to say.

I have since changed my mind on the 'averageness' of the end of '6 Walks' - it's hot from beginning to end!
