Introductions

Life is full of introductions: you introduce yourself to a stranger, and that stranger becomes a friend; Authors introduce new characters, and those characters grow to be loved by people world-wide. You can be introduced to anything, and anyone, and today, you will be introduced to me.

My name is Aimee.

This is to be a blog recording my adventures as I write, and struggle to enter the world of publishing my books. You will hear about the Erle Stanley Gardner writing contest I plan to enter this October, as well as my journey through National Novel Writing Month this November, and any other notable occasions I feel you ought to be reading about. Soon enough I will begin writing a short, 2,500 word mystery story to submit to the Erle Stanley Gardner Short Story Mystery Writing Contest. You can follow my progress as I struggle with that. The subtle plot twists and intrigue of a mystery have always been far beyond my comprehension, but I look forward to discovering whether or not I am capable of writing a mystery.

It is to be an epic quest of self-discovery and jubilation.
