Intro Post

Hello, hello! This is mostly a test post, because I don't know how to use this site. Apparently, because I have a Google account I have had a Blogger all along. How creepy.

My guess is that people who read this will be the handful of friends that have known me for years, so... not sure what to do for an intro. But, I guess on the off chance others stumble upon this....

My name is Sam, or Samie, or Pepper, or basically whatever anyone wants to call me. Heck, I'll answer to Dean or Deanie, and that is extremely far from my name. So, yup, whatever is good. I'm a writer with a degree in Government Science: National Security, and a Strategic Intelligence minor. Which basically boils down to I studied politics, policies, terrorism, and foreign relations so that I could complain about them. After I graduated, I did not go into government and intelligence. Instead, I took a job with a Japanese company and moved overseas.

Fiction writing is what I really love doing though. Or, writing in general. I am supposed to be doing a full rewrite of this book I had in the works, but my job schedule is nuts. Eventually, I'll figure out how to manage my limited time better, and get it rewritten. So, just a warning, some posts here could be tangents about stuff I want to write or ideas I had to clarify parts I was stuck on.

Mostly, I will be sharing about the move to Japan. All the cool stuff I've seen, and the horrible. I will likely throwback a few times to other countries or points in my life.

So, welcome, and I hope you find this entertaining.
