Storytelling is a large part of this blog, and also part of my heritage. Thanks to my one fourth Mi’Kmaq and three fourths French descent, storytelling was my ancestors’ way of carrying on family traditions, and it continues in my writing.
Living on a tiny island off the coast of Canada, one would think that a person would have very few stories to tell, but that is not so. Many funny and interesting things happen on the island of Newfoundland, and I am here to share them with anyone who wants to read about them. With that, I must admit, I write a lot.
I always wanted to do an English degree, but never got around to it. But never say never. I write from my heart, not from what I was taught. I confused school teachers by writing endless essays when they only wanted two or three pages. Since most of them were too lazy to read all the pages I wrote, they just gave me great marks…
I hate math but I have always loved English. I love to read almost as much as I love to write.
In this blog, I try to post stories about things I find funny, things I may have heard that were amusing or weird, or things that generally piss me off. I make it my goal to try and write at least one post per work day. Since coming to WordPress, my writing has begun to evolve (at least I think so). I began writing mostly autobiographical works, but as of late, another side of me has emerged, a side that writes horror and suspense stories as well. Hopefully this is a good thing.
So stay tuned, read, comment, criticize the world of SightsnBytes. Nice to have you on board.
Newfoundland, very nice! My sister’s husband has/had family from Newfoundland and she and I have always wanted to visit. Maybe someday!

Truly good and interesting writing. I look forward to exploring your writing here further. I’ve also added this to my blogroll on OCanadaBlog. By the way, Newfoundland is terrific in so many ways (and earlier today I actually posted about it). Best, Brett

Yep, me too, Ted 😀
P/S I meant to say, thanks for following “The Call of the Pen” too. I’m looking forward to reading more Beware of Jackson Falls. Have you tried writing for “Write Now” (http://todaysauthor.com/category/writing-prompts/write-now/)? That will give you an almost unlimited word count. Most people stick to around 750 words though I think 😀
thanks…I will give it a try
Wow, you’re from Newfoundland! I always love to find fellow Newfies online. What town are you from? I grew up in St. Lunaire up on the Northern Peninsula, as well as in Grand Falls.
I am from Stephenville. Welcome to my site, hope you take the time to have a look around.
Dear Sightsnbytes, I love your writing. Very enjoyable blog and point of view. Nan
