Who Is Your Blogger, And What Does He Do?

We’ll start at the beginning:

Okay, maybe we don’t have to go that far back.  Let’s start with some basics instead.

My name is Jonathan Ondrashek.  I was born and raised on a farm in Iowa, and have since been converted into a city slicker who yearns for the sharp, distinct smell of cow shit.  From an early age, I loved reading, which naturally segued into a love of writing.  However, my epiphany to pursue professional writing avenues didn’t occur until after I forsook a college education for pot, alcohol, and self-indulgent masturbation.

At the age of 23–after realizing I had absolutely no clue what I wanted out of life–I rediscovered writing and joined the Long Ridge Writer’s Group.  Through snail-mail correspondence, I learned the basics of breaking into print markets and crafting novels.  In 2013, despite many rejections, I finally suckered a publisher into sending me a contract landed a three-book deal with a prominent horror publisher.

After years of self-loathing, I had looked defeat in the face and bitch-slapped the shit out of her.

Which brings me to the point: I’m a writer.  It’s been my calling since birth, even if I couldn’t see it for a decade.  This is my dream, and I refuse to let anything or anyone stand in my way.

I’m not out to concoct the Great American Novel, and I may not end up being a household name.  I’m okay with that.  Really, I am.

My goal is to entertain.  Plain and simple.

The Blog

Dark Randomosity will feature random topics with a dark sense of humor.  While many posts will pertain to writing, here’s a glimpse at what else to expect:

• Excerpts;
• Book updates, contest announcements, and guest blog information (assuming some unlucky bastards out there are willing to have me write for their site);
• Guest blog posts (assuming other bloggers want to be associated with this site);
• Original poetry;
• Links to spend your hard-earned money on poorly crafted novels;
• and pictures.  You can’t go wrong with pictures.

Pictures?  Woohoo!

Why You Should Come Back

Why should you invest ten to twenty minutes a week in reading Dark Randomosity?  Why read anything where the writer has no clear authority on anything and bounces around from one topic to another?

Well, it’s because I aim to entertain.  And, as it is with herpes, I want you to come back again and again.

So stay tuned.  There’s more randomosity coming your way.
