I have been mulling over the kind of content I could provide on this blog that would make it an interesting place to visit and allow it to be more than just a collection of vain ramblings about my own personal dreams. Obviously at this point I have no expert or authoritative advice to provide. I’ve never had a blog or website before and I’ve never had anything published. Both the craft and business of writing are fields I’m largely ignorant of. So, I certainly can’t tell any of you how to write a good story, produce a great blog or get published. What I can offer is a perspective that you might find interesting, perhaps even useful. I can’t tell you what I know with any great confidence, but I can share with you what I learn. I can point you to people, places and things I’ve personally found useful or inspiring. Your mileage may very, but if you find yourself at a similar stage of professional and creative development as I am then you might find some of it useful or inspiring too.

Introducing “THE LIST”
So one thing that anyone checking out “Looking for a Rabbit Hole” might be wondering is: What does Jeff mean by “becoming a writer”.
That’s what I’d be wondering if I was someone else stumbling across this place anyway. When I say I want to become a writer I am specifically referring to becoming a professional writer. Or, to put it another way, I want to become a writer who is paid for their work. I’m looking for a career change here. At the minimum I’d at least like to create a supplementary career out of writing.
Welcome!
Welcome to my new little slice of the Internet.
For my kicking-it-all-off-first-post I guess I need to explain, as my son likes to say, “What’s going on here!” So, as I tell my students to do, I’m going to fall back on the 5 Ws to try and make it all clear.
