Day One

Hello and welcome to my blog!

I am a geek and aspiring novelist interested in math, psychology, sociology, literature, zoology, biology, microbiology, physics, chemistry (pretty much every science except meteorology and geology) art, history, language, and drama, who probably "should have" been an atheist but find myself instead a Christian.  I do believe in Jesus Christ, I believe He is the only way to heaven, I believe every word of the bible is true, that He is the Son of God and is coming back, and I believe He is flawlessly wonderful and awesome.

My intention in writing this blog is to reflect on various topics that interest me and share my analyses with other interested parties.  Since I am particularly fascinated by all forms of storytelling, literary and cinematic critiques may take up a lot of space.  I do have other things in mind, though.  (It's my first time blogging; I'll figure it out.)

I understand that the academic mind is given to delusions of infallibility; it is my hope to avoid that mindset.  I don't want to think I'm always right, I want to do right as often as I can.  If and when I address any difficult or sensitive issues, I hope to keep an open mind, write a rational and unaffected post, and welcome corrections or criticisms that might come my way.  As I said, I'm not infallible, but that's the hope.

Obviously my name is not Ilythia Major.  That would be weird. . .  Unless someone is actually named Ilythia Major, in which case I snap my fingers and say, "Dang! that would've made a great name in a story!"  Props to you for sounding like an exotic Harry Potter character.
