the idea that other people have interesting things to say and can get people to read them has finally gotten to me, so i decided to start this.
a few things to start off with, so we can both get our bearings here:
-- as much as i am fascinated by the idea of a potential readership, this blog is also exercise for me. i want to write, and that naturally means i want to be read. but i've found it difficult to be read if i haven't written anything...long form writing for me ends up in what movie people like to refer to as "development hell;" that is to say, it never gets past the idea stage. this is a good way to practice short form writing, articles and essays and such. i have an abundance of thoughts and opinions, which i am hoping the pressure of updates and the constriction of brevity will help me squeeze out into written form. practice might not make me perfect, but it will get me read. eventually.
-- i take the e.e. cummings approach to capitalization.
-- i haven't really decided what the theme of this blog should be, aside from its primary purpose of encouraging me to write, and i'm ok with that. i don't want it to simply be an online diary though, either. that would be boring to the point of depressing. for the both of us. at any rate, expect various words organized into various sentances and paragraphs about various topics.
-- and lastly...
yes, i'm fully aware that no one is reading this.
