WELCOME TO MY FIRST BLOG!

Hi there! I've never done this before, and I'm a little bit nervous to post my ideas, thoughts, feelings, and stories on the internets, but I'm here anyway! I'm newly 30 (and by "newly 30" I mean I am almost 31), and I'm at a point in my life where I'm diving in full throttle. So, here goes.

I am a 30 year old lawyer in Washington, D.C. (soon Charlotte, NC), and it's time to follow my passions. Passion Number 1: Creativity. I don't fancy myself to be an incredibly creative person, but I am constantly thinking of those "what if" moments--"What if so-and-so had such-and-such happen to him?" I recently read a non-fiction work by Stephen King ("On Writing") in which he says that this is the best source of stories. I think of these scenarios constantly, so why not write them down somewhere?

What follows (I hope) will be a collection of brief snipets of stories I'm considering writing and my observations.

Thanks for reading, dear audience! (Currently, my "dear audience" is just myself.)
