I have always considered myself a wordsmith. I write all the time, and love doing so.
But rather than storing my writing in endless and various notebooks, or stowing it away in a folder on my laptop, I wanted to see what would happen if I put some of my musings on a different platform. A platform that other people might be able to see. I hope that someone out there in the world might one day stumble across this blog and find it interesting.
And even if it remains undiscovered, I will enjoy the company of the words. I love words. I am the Word Wolf.
