Writing can be a lonely endeavor.

So I made this site.

Intentionally small, totally free of ads, nothing for sale, no SEO concerns, no attempt to drive traffic here. Pretty much invitation-only, but anyone that stumbles on it can invite themselves, so not really. I won’t even say it’s “got that personal touch” because that implies (to me, at least) warmth and friendliness, and my interpersonal skills are not always the best.

My goal is simple: try to provide a place of some value to a few writers. In return, I hope to receive some help with my own writing, maybe make a few friends, have some fun.

This is what you’ll find here.

A forum. Why does the world need another forum, you ask. My thoughts for bothering with one can be found here: About the Forum

Because the world does need another blog (ha-ha), I am trying to collect some of my thoughts (they remain elusive), on my companion site. But before you go there, I thought it best to warn you a bit: About My Blog

My love for writing fiction comes from a love of reading fiction, and being a completist, it sometimes takes some effort to find all the books and stories of a given writer. What I find, I post here: Writers

I am not anything professional when it comes to design, web design, or coding, but I don’t let that stop me. Sorry. Still, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to list what tools I use to mangle create the pages, and a bit about why I made the site the way it is: About the Site

Other Places is a page of links to sites I find useful or interesting or just plain like.

Finally, as mentioned above, this site has a companion site (Albert Terego.com), and links and such float between them, depending on various factors. I mention it here before you start clicking on links and find yourself somewhere else url-wise and have a WTH (what the heck?) moment.
