FENCE? WHAT FENCE? INTRODUCING MY THIRD BLOG

This post marks the debut of my third continuing blog, and fourth overall. For awhile I had a blog at the Xenga website. I decided to shut that blog down when it became increasingly clear to me that Xenga is populated predominantly by teens and twenty somethings. Thus I really didn’t fit in. So I left.

Here on blogspot I launched my first blog, Random Musing Thoughts, last October. That blog is open ended topic wise, hence its name. This will be a blog about writing exclusively. From time to time I will comment on writing contests or competitions that I have elected to enter. Thorny revision aqnd editing issues are also fair game for discussion as they occur as one manuscript or another is shaped into something worth reading.

Naturally I do hope other will benefit from reading this blog. I am planning on leaving reader comments unmoderated in order to facilitate lively discussions of topics or viewpoints presented in each post. In addition, readers are invited to suggest topics or issues for future posts.

So just what is meant by the title of this blog? In the spirit of open honesty, I am a legitimate male to female transsexual currently mired in the early phase of transition. As such, I feel I can express the male point of view on challenging topics, but through feminine eyes. At least some of the time.

Another meaning perhaps arises out of my working on fiction and nonfiction projects, usually in parallel. Thus, periodically I will I may develop a post (or series of posts) that explores the difference in expressing the same idea in fiction and nonfiction. One thing I have observed over the last two decades or so is that sometimes it is easier to express factual information in an understandable manner in fiction than it is in nonfiction.
