Spinwork Blog

… I have a working blog for the ESS site. This is probably the fourth blog I’ve attempted on my writing and insofar none of them have faired very well. We’ll just have to see how this one goes. Last few times, it was because the site I was using wasn’t final or based on a particular project or something along those lines.

Any way, welcome to the blog. For those of you who don’t know me or by some fluke of nature found themselves interested in the “blog” tab on the ESS site, I am Ben, an aspiring author. If you’ve read my profile, you will know I’m a story-and-writing fiend who hails from Brooklyn, New York and studies at Champlain College in Vermont. I’ve basically been telling stories on-and-off my entire life, sometimes to the point of nauseating those in my company (^^;). My venture into the world of online writing began in 1999 when I began writing for a role play site’s mailing list. It’s pretty much grown from there.

I already have the site and my Twitter, so just what do I need this blog for?

My intent with the site wasn’t to update the actual content frequently, but to function more as a portfolio for my work. It’s also an incentive to actually post my writing once in a while (apparently, I’m infamous for being hermit-like when it comes to showing people my stuff). So, when I’m not giving you multi-daily updates on writing progresses on Twitter, I’ll be posting detailed stuff here. Chances are, this will also be heavily neglected xD

In case you’re totally confused about this Twitter thing, go to the main page of ESS and look under the “Microblog” tab. I use it to provide frequent updates on through-out the day work on various projects. I won’t use it much until Twice Born gets up, however.

Twice Born, if you don’t know, is my fourth novel attempt and first serious online project. I’m still working hard on early episodes and planning it. At the moment, it looks to be a trilogy, and will take me anywhere from 3-5 years to complete.

That about covers it for the opening post. I hope y’all enjoy this blog ^_^
