My first post.

  This is it, I am currently popping my blog's cherry.  Don't act so offended, you're still reading aren't you?  In essence you are looking at the recording of me demolishing the virginity of this blog.  You know you like it.

  For a small introduction, I will state that my name is Michael.  You can find me on twitter as @rikemungal, where I occasionally post funny things.  I say occasionally as I am not that funny, though I do have a mind that is as deep in the gutter as a 12-yr.-old.  I also have like no followers, so mosey on over and follow me damnit.

  Okay, shameless twitter plug out of the way.  I suppose the first post would be a good place to explain my project here.  See I'm nobody special and, probably like you, I have tons of ideas floating in my giant noggin.  I've had solidish (I typed it didn't I?) ideas of a trilogy of sorts for a few years now.  I always thought it was a cool daydream of sorts,  until a few months ago.

  I ante'd up.  I finally started writing these ideas down.  I'm going for broke in my attempt to write my first novel which will be a prelude to a *hopefully* larger series.  Its basically a novel to see if i have any skill at this sort of thing.  If I suck, i will probably continue, I'm stubborn like that.  Hell, if i enjoy the end product(s) then I'll be okay with it.

  I'm not trying to be the next "Harry Potter" or anything like that, but I am trying to be that detailed.  I will not spoil anything as I do hope to do something with this first novel.  I do have lore and back-stories written and waiting for me to do something with which is, in a way, where this first book came from.  I liked the idea of this particular race's creation story that i wanted to expand and elaborate on it to see if I enjoy it and if I am any good.

  You're wondering "Why the hell am i reading a blog about writing?"  My answer to that is,  "I have no idea, why do people watch the Kardashians on T.V.?"  To which you respond, "I don't know, let me get back to reading and shut up."  And I'm like, "Okay, jeez no need to get all pissy."  In other words, this is more for me than it is you.  No offense, I mean, I like the fact that you are reading this and its great and all, but this is a ranting place of sorts and, I hope, a place to relieve writer's block.

  I think i have succeeded in tearing down writer's block for today as I think I have a couple ideas of how to bridge a gap.

  In an unrelated note, I will be writing random things, try to keep up.
