Welcome!

So, I'm in New York City this past week with a group of fellow Goucher College MFA (in Creative Nonfiction) students and we're talking to editors and agents and whatnot, and a few of these publishing types ask if I have a blog, to which I reply, "Um, no." They said they thought it would be a good idea.

Now that I've left a nothing-to-do place like NYC for the cultural and social capital of the universe known as southwest Virginia, I have indeed started a blog. This is it. You could be, like, saving the world or something. But instead, you're reading it. Stunning, no?

In the future, I will be posting about the things in life that I find amazing. Many of these things fall under the premise of my rules for living. Miss Manners has had her tired rules of etiquette for, what, a thousand years? I will be talking about manners for the 21st century. Common sense stuff that is obviously -- and amazingly -- lacking in a world that has very little common sense.

So stay tuned for thoughts on planes, trains, and automobiles, particularly as they pertain to my New York trip.

Thanks for reading this first blog entry. I'm actually amazed that you're taking time from your busy day to read this. But if you have time to kill -- particularly while you're at work and feel like doing nothing productive, further destroying our economy and ensuring that the United States becomes enslaved to China -- feel free to check back often. Remember, here at Maybe I'm Amazed, Inc., we aim to enlighten AND entertain.

See you soon!
