Who wants to become a writer? And why? … It’s the streaming reason for living. To note, to pin down, to build up, to create, to be astonished at nothing, to cherish the oddities, to let nothing go down the drain, to make something, to make a great flower of life, even if it’s a cactus.

– Enid Bagnold

Welcome to Nothing Down the Drain, my place to write a little – or a lot – about everything.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a writer. But every time I’ve started a blog (I’m at four so far), I felt pressure to have a brand – a focus or a lens through which I had to funnel my writing. That’s great for getting publicity, but not so great for motivating me or keeping me interested in my own project, since what I care about and want to write about shift from day to day and hour to hour. Then Nothing Down the Drain was born. My place to write about anything and everything, and where nothing goes down the drain.
