There's nothing like a good old blog to get rid of frustration, keep track of all sorts of projects, and get the inspirational juices flowing again... or maybe that's just my wishful thinking. Whatever the case may be, this is where I detail my adventures as a writer, from writer's block to flashes of genius and the desire to stomp on the ignorant. It includes musings on my current projects, thoughts on possible future ones, and really just anything that pops into my mind during my life as a writer. Some of that will probably sound familiar, because I'm sure I can't be the only person to have these thoughts. Who knows, maybe I'll end up inspiring someone with my silliness!


If you're looking for insights into my writing, my writing process, or just general random tidbits about me... this is the place. :)

While I agree wholeheartedly with this entire essay, I would like to comment. It is my experience that we have one point of view, our own. Although we can imagine another point of view, and often do that very well, it is still our writing, our perception, our sense of reality that makes the piece. Had I never felt sadness, I could not write about it from the inside. I could only write what it looks like, what I know of it from reading, and what people tell me about it. It is like having or not having bicameral vision. A person with both eyes working together can see depth and one without cannot. This colors perception and makes it individual. So, I may have never lived with a dog, but I can imagine living with a dog and create a convincing story. However, my perspective is cobbled together from other experiences, say, living with a fish. My tale may have a bit of fishy quality it would have lacked if I had lived with a dog instead. So even though I am not talking about myself, I am writing from myself and this will leave an unmistakable quality of me-ness in everything I write.
