    I've been a blogger much longer than I think I have. It seems that only a year or so ago, I started the infernal hobby of writing, but in fact, I've been doing it for years. The thing is, I have this strange desire to actually write more than just blog posts. And it is in response to this self-imposed calling that I find myself here at Smashwords.
