The Calm Before the Storm

Hi, my name is James and you have stumbled upon my blog. I am a part time writer, I work at a factory, and I am working on getting my degree and teaching certificate so I can teach high school English. Most of what I will deal with here, though, is the writing part. I will post updates of stories I am currently working on, ideas I have, character profiles, influences from books or blogs that I have read, what I am reading now, and just about anything else having to do with reading and writing, fiction and nonfiction. I am looking forward to reading feedback from you, my followers, and to hearing what kinds of things you like to read would like me to write about. I do not mind criticism as long as it is meant to help, and that is what I am looking for from you. Whether it be with my grammar (I am still working on being an English teacher, so pardon me if I slip up now and again), ideas, style, characters, etc. Please let me know what you think works and what you think does not. I am excited to hear from other writers to get their expertise and readers to see how they experience my writing. I am hoping my blog will be a hub of interaction between me and my readers. So, now that the introductions have been made, I will leave you with these words of wisdom:

"Hey, did anybody ever think that maybe Sylvia Plath wasn't crazy, she was just cold?" - Lorelai Gilmore, Gilmore Girls

Your Author,

James
