Hello everyone.  My name is Michael Weisel and, as you can see I’m brand new to this site.  As a matter of fact I’m brand new to this world.  I have no formal writing experience.  So why am I here?  I’ve always wanted to be a writer but never pursued it.  It is something I have always regretted.  Anybody who really knows me can tell you I’m not afraid to speak my mind and stay true to myself.  I’m not afraid to “rock the boat” and I hope that being here will be a rewarding experience for me.  I hope this will be productive and if you want, well, stop in and say hi.
