Alas, I've already hit my first confession: I'm highly intimidated by this blank space of a blog. But that's like most writers, isn't it? The blank space is our arch nemisis; staring us dead in the eyes and mocking our every attempt. There's just no hiding from that empty page. No matter how small you scribble, you will run out of lines.
I'm just procrastinating. And I'm well aware of it. If I put off this blog for any longer, it will continue to be put off until I either finally forget about it or become so guilty that I'd give a half hearted attempt at it before giving up. At least this way I'm trying. That should count for something. We'll see about that.
My second confession of the night is this: I have ideas about blogs and none of them seem to be based on facts. For example: People read blogs and therefore people will read my blog. Another prime example of my ideas: Just because I put my writing/ideas/prattlings/what ever out there, people will enjoy/respect/respond to/acknowledge their existence. That's just two examples. I'm sure I could whip up a few more. But perhaps I should save that for later.
Now what? Do I hit the big orange Publish button or do I continue to ramble on for a few more paragraphs in the hopes that I might redeem myself for horrible start to a blog? I guess I can't expect perfection the first time through. But hey, it could have happened...right?
Maybe a list will help. Okay, these are the things you (the reader) and I (the supposed writer) can expect from this adventure.
- Snippets from The Hand of Fate (my novel in progress)
- Character and plot sketches
- Musings over different elements of writing fiction
- Various other writing samples.
- Advice to and from other writers
And for now, I'll call this a blog.
