Step one: Write your first entry

So I've decided to start writing a blog. I'm not so sure that I have anything of importance to contribute to the interwebs, but here I am nonetheless.

I went to a vocation dinner sponsored by the English department, and the woman who came [I forget her name, Shyla perhaps. She is a technical writer for Microsoft in Fargo] said that it would probably be a good idea for writers to have blogs as a way to have something to point at and say, "Hey, look! I have writing samples in the real world. Hire me!" Hopefully it works. I'm a little skeptical, but I figure there's no harm in trying.

Plus, it's another way to procrastinate homework, so why not?

Anyways, I'm not so sure what I'll be writing here. Probably the random ramblings of my mind. But some people have provided me with some options via Facebook, so I might just start there and see where I end up.

Wish me luck!
