Welcome to my blog. Why "Tough City" you might ask? It's anyone's guess since the place where I live is neither tough, nor a city. Lots of people in town have ideas about how our home got this nickname, but I don't think anyone knows for sure. It's probably just a shortened version of our town's name, which is on an island in Canada. I'll leave it at that. If you've been here, you probably know where I'm talking about.

One thing in my blog's title that is true is that I'm a writer. I'm not sure what this blog will bring, but it will probably have something to do with writing and reading, and that thing called life that feeds into all that creativity. Or, if nothing else, it's a darn good place to procrastinate.
