Welcome

Thank you for stopping in to visit "The Word of Jeff", a little strand of the world wide web dedicated to the portion of my life that involves my writing.

Like my own life, this site will always be a "work in progress", but even moreso at this point in time as I begin building, page by page. Thus, I ask your patience if links go to blank or incomplete pages. Please return in the near future.

Right now, the "Blog" link should definitlely be working, as well as the "Contact Me", "Words" and "Photo Gallery" links. The others will follow shortly.

So, why a site about my writing?

Well, number one, everybody in the industry says you need one. Editors, agents and possible clients like to be able to go to a single location to familiarize themselves with you as a person and, more importantly, you as a writer of words that they may wish to purchase. The ability to make contact with you and read samples of your work in one convenient location is appreciated and, in these technologically tantalizing days, necessary.

Two, this site is long overdue. I bought the domain name over a year ago and designed the site shortly after that, but am just now able to devote time to getting it uploaded and adding content.

Three, this site, and in particular the blog portion, will allow me the opportunity to share with you areas of my life that deal with my writing. That might involve research I'm doing, photographs I'm taking, books I'm reading, travel I'm undertaking, people I'm meeting and maybe, just maybe, some hopes and dreams that I have for my writing.

So, if you're an editor, agent or potential client, you'll want to check out the "Words" page where you'll find samples of my past work and links to writing I am doing at the moment. Then you'll want to head right over to the "Contact Me" page and send me an offer of work, lol.

If you're a family member, friend or loved one, thank you for visiting and thank you for all you do in support of my writing. You know that I'm not a very talkative individual, so the best page for you is the "Blog" where you know you'll probably find out more about what's going on with me and my life from my writing than you'll ever hear from my lips.

For you bored Internet surfers who had the good fortune to land here; welcome! Please enjoy the parts that interest you, ignore the parts that don't and go in peace.
