About

This blog is about stories of the everyday. It's about the little events, the chance meetings, and the things I see and hear. I write about them here because I like to record things. If I just tell someone a story, I will often forget about if afterward. One aspect of this blog is documentation.

I also want this blog to be about practicing my writing skills for effective narration. I have a habit of telling people all the details of a story -sometimes the details don't matter and often they lead me off on a tangent.

As well, when I wrote stories as a kid my favourite word seemed to be "and". Every sentence began with "and". The story was a list of events with "and" to connect them. I feel I still have that issue. As I tell it, it's just a list of events. I want it to be better.

My aim is to make myself a better storyteller, to explore different styles and to be more concise. I have always written, but not often written stories. Just verbal stream of thought consciousness... The poor victims I call friends! :P
