Hi, there.
If you've clicked
along this far to find out more about me, I hope you might be willing
to make on additional click over to my personal site, Scalzi.com, and
to my writing site, updated more or less daily, called Whatever. Here's the link -- just click that to go through (if for some reason the link doesn't work, the URL is: http://www.scalzi.com/whatever).
What
will you find there? As the title implies, you'll find me writing about
whatever thoughts are rolling around in my head at this particular
moment in time. Topics I write about frequently include writing
(naturally enough!), politics, home life, tech geekery, parenting,
science, religion, and so on. I also post lots of pictures and
generally putter around like an idjit. It's fun, or what passes for fun
when one is staring at a screen full of phosphors.
Now, a caveat: the Whatever is a personal site, and I write there without worrying whether or not what I'm writing might potentially aggravate, alienate or just plain confuse
people who are simply wandering by. So while you might go there and
find me to be an interesting and fabulous person, you might also go
there and find me to be a big fat jerk. It all depends.
This
is the drawback of getting to know too much about the people whose
books you are reading: at the end of the day, they're people too, with
just as many good points and bad points as anyone else. Personally
speaking, I don't mind that much; some of my favorite writers are often
also people whose politics or points of view on life, the universe and
everything are ones I don't particularly share. I just like their
writing, period, end of story. It's something to keep in mind.
Caveat
aside, I do love getting new visitors, so I hope you'll consider this
an open invitation to come on by and learn a little more about me. I
look forward to meeting you! Also, feel free also to drop me a note
through e-mail, at an address I've created expecially for readers: "author@scalzi.com".
I try to answer all the e-mail I get, although sometimes I'm better at
this than others. I definitely read every (non-spam) piece of mail I
get, however. So send away!
See you soon,
John Scalzi
