Welcome/Introduction

This is a big moment for me. My first post on my very own blog. It's probably not a big deal to most (or all) of you, but it is to me.

So, why have I created this blog? The simple answer is that I would like to become a more serious writer and this blog can be an outlet for my writing. For years I have thought of becoming a freelance writer, and now I have some time to pursue this dream. To become a successful writer, people need to know you exist and be able to read what you write. So, here I am, ready for the world to hear what I have to say.

So, why Chernobyl and Eastern Europe? Writers are at their best when writing about subjects they care about. Right now, my interests are focused mostly on Chernobyl and Eastern Europe, so in this blog you will find information about anything and everything related to these subjects.

I am very excited about making this a fun and informative place for people to visit. If there is a subject or topic you feel should be discussed here, please let me know. I also write about the same subject matter at Suite101.com, so feel free to check out my articles if you have the time.
