Hello,
and welcome to version 2.0 of my blog. As you may surmise, this is my
second attempt at keeping up with a regular blog, however the objective
is quite different this time around. Let me give you an unnecessary
amount of detail as briefly as possible...
As
you probably know, I write. I do this for fun, for profit, and
ultimately to become a world-renowned, noteworthy and awe-inspiring
author. Clearly, keeping a blog is the best way to achieve these goals.
Ok,
so maybe that’s a bit of a stretch. However, I believe it is important
to create an online footprint and persona to highlight my awe-inspiring
talents. So that’s one thing.
Next,
I find I have these little conversations in my head most days and I
often think, “Gee, I wish someone could hear these downright profound
thoughts, comment and leave feedback to affirm my awe-inspiring talent
and possibly stroke my ego.” It’s like that saying: if a tree falls in
the woods, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? (oh,
she’s lofty indeed!)
But
seriously, I would like to refine my personal voice. When tackling
matters of the heart or intellect, I tend to write in a journalistic,
objective style. Given my background and training, this makes sense. But
given my above-stated objective, less so. So my intent is to tell
stories and issue opinions in an captivating, unique, and at times
humorous way. And practice is really the best way to hone this skill,
methinks. Not to mention developing a regular habit of writing is kind
of essential and something heretofore I’ve been very poor at
maintaining.
With
that said, I’d like to entertain you, dear reader, but I’d also love
your feedback. If you think my opinions faulty and thoughts silly, well,
that’s fine (you’re not alone), but I’d really love to hear what you
think of my writing.
Yeah,
I think this feels pretty good. I’ve got my writing shoes on, I’m doing
some mental stretches, I’m ready to take off. Let’s see where this
goes!
