What have I gotten myself into?

Ok, so I'm not the usual one you would find writing blogs. I don't like talking about myself or my life. I just don't see myself as that interesting, although my wife would disagree and probably be ticked at me for saying so. So why in the world would I start a blog?

Good question. Does anyone have an answer for me? I guess the reason would probably be so that I have yet another place to discuss my increasingly overwhelming need... scratch that... compulsion to write. Currently it is all about writing Star Wars fanfic. That's right I am a Star Wars geek, completely and totally. I have been so addicted to it lately it seems to just want to take over my life, which I say wouldn't be a bad thing.

But I also have numerous other writing projects which I do and I just seem to get so much enjoyment out of bringing characters and stories to life. I honestly think I could be completely content with my life if I could write full time. However the truth of the matter is that I cannot afford to do that at the moment. And the sad part about it is I don't know if I'll ever have the time or resources to do it professionally.

See this is why I don't normally do this. I just have a hard time opening up. Maybe doing this will help.
