Be gentle, this is my first time.

Hello, Blog-o-sphere!

I have had a Tumblr for the last couple a years and was recently told the reason I may not be getting as many hits as I was before is because Tumblr is mainly now a porn site.  Since my blog, unfortunately, did not have any nudity I can see why there was a decline in readership.  I am hoping to change all of that with Blogspot.  IF you are interested in seeing any of my past posts, you may visit www.easyluckyorfree.tumblr.com.  Again, you will be disappointed if you think there will be any porn on my page because I'll tell you right now, there is not.  And I apologize.

So, why did I start yet ANOTHER blog??  Well, I published a novella called "The Awful Truth of Loving" on Amazon.com earlier this month and am trying to find the balance between positive online marketing and falling into the trap of just being "spam".  I don't want to be just "spam".  I've never tried the stuff that comes in a tin can and I don't plan to anytime soon.  Also, I certainly don't want to be the person responsible for forcing it on other people.  It's gross.  I'm hoping with time I will be able to streamline all of my Facebook, Twitter, and blog accounts into one efficient information machine.

Here I will post writing I am working on, snippets from past or upcoming writing projects, and a good amount of literature review yay's and nay's as I read almost a book every two weeks since buying a Kindle (blatant Kindle sales pitch!).  

It is my belief that storytelling is as much a part of our DNA as the colour of our hair.  Think about it.  We watch T.V., we read, me listen to music, we go to the movies.  We love stories and we can't get enough of them!  At any given time of day we are either listening to someone else's story or telling our own to someone else.  I hope to share my stories as well as others' stories with my readers.  Please let me know if you have any suggestions or if you would like me to read/review any of your own writing!
