I'm Rob and I am, at this very moment, an underemployed writer, which shouldn't be surprising to anyone. "A writer looking for work?" and this is where you would fake an expression of astonishment at the prospect. But we'll get to that in just a little bit.
If you're reading this, you're either related to me, stalking me, looking for something else on the internet and are now lost, or you've stumbled onto this out of sheer boredom. Whatever the reason is, you're welcome to stay as long as you want.
But what I'm doing here, and the reason for this blog is that I wanted to have a place where I could work out my problems, which I do best in my writing. My personal journals are full of days where I was working through something I thought was rough. I'm not necessarily an organized person*, so I get things onto paper, where I can sift through the words later. My friend thinks best while he talks through them, which makes for very long conversations when he's stressed about something.
*When I lived in Ukraine, I got called "a miracle in feathers" on a regular basis. Apparently, that's the kind of forgetful person who has to write everything down or it's just gone. Like me.
In addition to soul-searching, this blog is intended to be a place where I can practice writing things that I enjoy writing. I get tired of writing the same boring technical documents after a little while and I've got ideas I want to work out. Again, with words. But I'm planning on writing some fictional something, which I'll do to some extent right before your very eyes. I think it'll be fun and, I'm hoping, informative for someone interested in what an underemployed writer does in their scads of free time.
