The Purpose of this Blog

I'm going to use this blog to post excerpts of works-in-progress so they can be easily read and critiqued by people whom I direct to this site (or whoever, really, but I have no illusions that random people will be showing up to read and comment on my stuff). I will likely also post my thoughts and insecurities about the writing process as I go along. It may turn into something more than that, or not. We'll see.
