I’ve finally posted something that I kind of like - with an ending. This blog is mostly past writing projects that were never finished, hence the blog name: A Thousand Beginnings. > **[A Thousand Beginnings](http://athousandbeginningsnano.blogspot.com/)** > > You say you've started writing a few things, but never finished them? A few? Piker! It’s here in Marketplace because I’ve turned the ads on. I was amused to find that today the ads are for autoclaves. [I know why](http://athousandbeginningsnano.blogspot.com/2011/11/magic-safety-procedures.html). It isn’t due to the latest post. Feel free to post links to your own writing blogs. I’m looking for more things to bookmark. ---

I perused through some of your writings and so far I like it. Will sit down and read more thoroughly when I get a chance. Life is busy! ---

I’ve been keeping this in my bookmarks for the last week. If you release a novel, ping me - I’d love to read it. On a side note, the definition of peruse is “To read or examine, typically with great care.” I had that lesson bashed into my skull permanently by my HS English Lit. teacher. ---

I kind of hate to bump this. But I discovered the piece that I started for NaNoWriMo 2005 and I’ve been posting a couple of sections every few days. I made it to 50.000 words that year and it looks like maybe a quarter of a draft of a novel. Feel free to comment or throw tomatoes or whatever. It begins [here.](http://athousandbeginningsnano.blogspot.com/2012/10/eighth-beginning-01-nanowrimo-2005.html) The next post isn’t part of the story, but all the posts after that are.
