Introduction

Well, I'm writing a book titled "Zombie Proof Fence" and thought it might be interesting to blog about the experience. My goals for doing this and what I hope to accomplish are listed below, but my personal driver is just to try it out and see if blogging is something I enjoy and find valuable.

The Zombie Proof Fence Blog Charter:

• Share the creative process
• Share writing tips, tricks and anecdotes for other writers
• Share the experience of writing a book
• Provide content to interest readers in my writing
• Indulge in an occasional off-topic rant

It is NOT for:

• An online diary
• Posting about my family, friends or life outside of writing

So, if that seems interesting, read on.
