A Great Big Dream

Alright, so as of tomorrow it's been 3 months since I've written anything. As a writer an aspiring writer, this is annoying. The fact is, life has been crazy busy. Yet, I still find time to hang out with loved ones, eat and on the rare occasion, sleep. Life is very good, and I find myself almost overwhelmed by the idea of jumping into the whole blogging thing with any passion. As a storyteller, I find myself wanting to make a blog into a autobiography... Oh blasted BLOG, why must you sit there doing nothing while I imagine you put me under great pressure to write even though you really aren't doing anything. What good is sell awareness if it has no impact on action? I shouldn't care, I should just write...

I glance back, and this is the same needless rant I wrote 3 months ago... I shall call this a success. My new found character trait shall be know as consistency of grievance. In a months time I shall not remember I coined said phrase, as I rant about the frustrations of writing to an audience without providing context... Never mind the fact that no one even knows I have a blog. As such, I am feeling guilt towards an imaginary audience because of an imaginary expectation that I've thrust upon myself... Well, at least I have a good imagination.

Ever notice how much I use 3 periods in a row? I would struggle to describe why I do this... Just trust that it fits. Most people who read my writing and have met me comment that they feel as if they're talking to me when they read my writing. I have a distinct voice as a writer an aspiring writer and I hope it suites me, because it is simply my voice set to page or screen. Meh... I think it's because my writing shapes my speaking and my speaking shapes my writing. I write out loud and often speak with a notepad or visual aids.

My wife is calling, I shall pause...which is funny because as reader you have no sense of the passing of time as I write. This is the worst part - as most readers can read far faster than most writers can write... In fact, anything that can be written as fast as someone can read is probably not worth reading.

That's all for now, I gotta go grill some yummy foods!
