Welcome

This blog will be a record, or journal, if you will, about writing (obviously). I picked the title "Whither the Writer" for a couple of reasons: first, well, all the other titles I came up with were taken, and second I thought it fitting for me and my writing; it's an ongoing, burgeoning process, and I hope it will go someplace, with lots of published works.

I am a budding writer, as yet unpublished, but I think that will change soon. My main area of interest is fiction writing; I have started working on a book: a very rough beginning of what I believe will be pretty cool book. I'm also cranking out some short stories, and they just need some polishing and editing before I send them out to try to be sold.

In addition to sharing my own trials and tribulations as a fledgling writer, I want to hear other writer's rants and raves and war stories.

I will also be talking about books and other authors, and in general the all encompassing world of writing and writers.
