Starting Out

My name is Anthony, but I typically go by Tony. I am currently a student at Fairmont State University in Fairmont, West Virginia, where I am studying oral communications, theatre education. A couple months ago a friend of mine started a storytelling group on campus, the Appalachian Raconteurs, and our school hosted a storytelling conference. Since I had become our new group’s unofficial webmaster, as I was the only one who knew how to make groups and events on Facebook, I decided to attend a workshop on blogging. The workshop was presented by “Granny Sue” Holstein, a well-known West Virginia storyteller. She has been posting on her blog, http://www.grannysu.blogspot.com/, for a couple years now and has generated quite a following. After the conference, I set up a blog for the group, http://www.appalachianraconteurs.blogspot.com/.
Now that I have worked on a blog I’ve decided to start one myself. There are many things I would like to write about. I have a passion for science fiction so many on my posts will probably be on that subject. I will not write about that exclusively though. My topics could range from theatre to science. So I hope you enjoy. I welcome feedback on anything I post. You can contact me at acmarkz@gmail.com
