It's here. The final, official Temp manuscript. I'm told to enjoy these feelings of self-worth and accomplishment because once I start the grueling process of getting published all my happy feelings will leave me and be replaced by defeatism and certain doom. In fact, I just started this blog thing and I already feel like I don't have anything interesting to say. I suppose this is more an expectation of things to come - a hopeful guess that at some point, maybe on more than one occasion, I will have very interesting and entertaining things to share with those who are aware of my Internet existence, and they will be rewarded with many a funny metaphor. As it is, I have a lot of work to do. As frustrating as it is to acknowledge this, the real possibility exists that it may take me years to get any interest in my manuscript, if there is any interest at all, which is highly unlikely, and this blog will become very sad and depressing for everyone. Here would be a good place for some kind of pledge or promise that no matter how hard it gets I'll keep it upbeat and positive so that the rest of you writers out there can be encouraged rather than scared out of ever trying. Well, here we go. Here I go.

As a coworker with Joselyn Martin I can attest to her sparkling wit and knack for reparte' on most any subject. One never knows when one will be able to hear Josleyn weigh in on current culture, political issues, movies, literature (especially when she's trying to make anything Jane Austen intelligible for her less than well-read coworkers), and the occasional colon biopsy that looks like a heart (purely accidental of course).
I have had the opportunity to read Joselyn's manuscript and it is laugh out loud funny. I'm hoping I'm the first to blog on this blog. I don't know what blog means, but Joselyn did try to explain it to me. Not sure she was successful, but at list I'm blogging.
