Getting With the 21st Century

Recently I was chided by an online literary magazine's submissions page.

Not personally, no, but I took the message personally. Among the requirements for submission of new work was NOT a bio, but instead a website address. You have a website, don't you? it asked. What? Well, you should. It's the 21st century. And if you don't have a website, you should have a blog.

I have a blog, this blog, a blog draped with cobwebs, and over there in that corner of the internet I have another blog that's been left out in the rain too long and is covered in rust.

I see the wisdom of the advice, though. What kind of writer doesn't write and, in these days of instant publishing, publish?

So I will post a little here and a little there, and who knows? Maybe it'll become a habit. In the meantime, I'll post the links to my two-and-only published stories, and that, my very small circle of friends, should bring me into the 21st century.
