A place to siphon off the lousy brain stuff to make room for better ideas... [R]
                   "Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self."

                                                                                                             - Cyril Connolly


         The above quote is true, but off and on for the last five hours, I've been scouring the internet looking for a different quote.

         It may not have been a quote at all. Perhaps it was just a blurb that I read in passing on some Pinterest meme, but it described what I wanted to do with this blog perfectly. It stated that a writer has to write mounds and mounds of bad stuff in order to make room in the brain for the good stuff worth writing. Ideas, if held captive, will just swirl around in the mind until they stall, stagnate, and ferment.

         A regular writing habit of scribbling these thoughts and ideas down has cleared my mind like an open window in springtime. I have a freewriting journal I keep with my trusty Smith-Corona typewriter, and up to this point, I have also made a couple of scribbles in my WDC notebook. Having finally ponied up for an Upgraded account, I can now collect all the nuttiness and post them here for most to see (this blog is semi-private).

         The first thing I want to do is move a couple of those said scribbles from my WDC notebook to here for my own reference and for your reading enjoyment—or lack thereof. From there, whenever something pops up I'll be here. For bad or for worse, writing in here will in time make room for something a little more worthy of sharing.

         I should also mention that I like foxes, so they'll show up every now and again. *Fox*


*This blog is updated sporadically as the mood strikes me. It's not how most blogs work, I know.
**I also bumped the rating up to 18+, because swearing happens sometimes.
