A Note About This Blog

I used to be a writer. Unpublished, but a writer just the same. I have several 100,000 word novels sitting on my hard drive. Then I fell off a horse and got a concussion that scrambled my brains really good (yes, I was wearing a helmet.) After that forming a written sentence was very difficult for quite some time. It's still difficult, but at least now generally the sentence structure isn't egregiously flawed. Verbally and written wrong words pop in, I switch words around, and sometimes I make no sense at all. It isn't because I don't have knowledge of grammar and punctuation, but my brain simply can't do it sometimes. Reading this blog you're accepting that there's going to be things that look like typos or make no sense. It's not because I don't proofread, it's because my damaged brain doesn't see what's wrong. I try my best, but things will slip through. I don't need them pointed out, I know they're there, but if I continued to worry about them I wouldn't write at all. I didn't for quite some time. It's painful as a past master of words to use them so badly, but fortunately the words don't seem to mind.

Hello dear readers!

Those of you who read Eventing Nation may have noticed I now have a blog on Bloggers Row over there. It's not something I planned to do. I sent them a humorous piece and they decided I needed a blog.

I have mixed feelings on the whole giving them content they're not paying for thing. If it was anyone else I would have never sent them my amusing piece, or the event reports I've sent in the past. But, I am representing two underrepresented groups: the scared shitless adult and eventers in the desert southwest. And the number of readers EN has is large. Scary large for me, as I now have people With Opinions reading things. Not that you all don't have opinions, but you seem to be more circumspect about voicing them (which I greatly appreciate.) I'm not entirely sure I have a thick enough skin for things that people can have opinions on to be up at EN.

Anyway, this won't change things over here much. This blog has a different purpose and a different audience.
