I am basically starting this blog to make me sit down and write. I really believe I have what it takes to make it as a writer, if only I can hone my skills. I'll be honest, by real downfall is my total lack of discipline when there aren't deadlines looming. Anyway, so I thought a blog might just give me that little bit of incentive to write something, even if it is just thoughts about my day or about the last movie I saw. Madeleine L'Engle (the greatest writer of all time) says that you have to write to be a writer and it doesn't matter how insignificant that bit of writing might seem. The important thing is to learn to put words on the page. So here I am, trying to put words on the page.
Of course, there's always the thought that the blog could actually lead to something--it becomes popular or I discover what I'm really good at writing about. Who knows? The side bonus is that I get to remember cool stuff in my life that before I just let pass me by. I'm feeling optimistic. Let's leave it at that.
