the stories she told

So I was told by my professor that to be always writing is better than to never be writing. Unless I am writing for a class, I am never writing. So, she said, start a blog. Yes my fifty something Boston College English professor told me to get on the interweb and start writing. So here I am. I changed the name and the colors in the hopes that this would propel me into the blogosphere with confidence.

You might ask me, the stories she told, that's nice, what does that even mean? The same fifty something professor who initiated my triumphant return to blogger world is my Jane Austen professor. She described Jane Austen as a woman who told stories, and they might just be stories but the stories she told were snapshots of something, something that we still read. What I write will only be snapshots but hopefully they will be worth reading.

So I bid you welcome. Hopefully this time, I will actually commit to something.
