First Post, of Course

Which will be brief and unadorned: I'm taking a class called Writing Skills Workshop through University of California Extension and I'm carving out a blogspot niche for journal topics and essays.  We will see where it goes after the class is over.  I'm hoping to reduce my rants on y-knotblog.blogspot.com and leave that as a crafts/digital design site only.

Here I plan on posting drafts, take notes on the reading assignments, publish some of my class work when appropriate and examine the use of personal essay style on other people's blogs as well.  This will always be a work in progress, as I am likely to blurt out what I want to say and then come back and clean it up.  The advantage is that I can pick it up from where ever I am, and it won't fall down beside the bed and get lost or have the cats do something unmentionable to it.
