Welcome everyone to Raven's Tales, a repository of stories, poetry and thoughts on writing and art in general.
For those of you not familiar with my presence at Oddlots Irregulars, Raven is my nome de plume for that site. I chose to keep it as my moniker here not only because it will be familiar to those who have followed my work in the past, but also because I have yet to enter the world of professional publishing and decided to keep my online and traditional publishing worlds independent of one another.
This site was created to display my work in its various forms and to discuss the craft and philosophy of artistic creation. My expertise is in writing so that's where much of my commentary will lie, but it is my belief that all art shares similar characteristics and that the questions that arise from it are fundamentally the same.
At the very least I hope to entertain and inform you so that you get the most out of the time you spend here. If I manage to do that I'll consider this site a success.
So come on in and make yourself at home; I promise you'll be glad you stayed.
