As I sit down here to write this About page, the obvious question returns to mind—the one I’ve asked myself for months as I contemplated starting this project—why another blog?

I already have a blog, and it, like this one, is connected to my BlueSky and Mastodon presences. But that blog is deeply rooted in my fiction writing. I do occasionally post observations about the world, tributes to music and musicians I love, book reviews, and what-have-you on there, but it serves a purpose, and I have no desire to disrupt that.

What I want from Good Journey is a place apart; somewhere that I can write about more personal topics that the world can choose to read or ignore as is the inclination of each individual reader. Though they may come up from time to time here, if you are only interested in my fantasy stories, this is not the blog for you. Go here instead.

If, instead, you want to hear some personal stories, about my path to Unitarian Universalism, my thoughts on current events, or the trevails of my recent struggles with cancer, then this is where you’ll find those.
