Back in the day (I'm not that old, really), I began an experiment for myself; I thought, "I love reading, I love writing, I have interesting ideas floating about, I should start a blog!" This experiment what have you, was, and still is, for me, not you (deal with it). But I'm willing to share (you're smiling now aren't you). Writing, in my own words, provides a meditative zone where I can just unleash every spoon of thought I have unto a virtual machine soup of 1's and 0's (I don't like to waste paper). It makes me happy (and now I'm smiling) to say the least. And what would make me happier is to make you happy, whoever and wherever you are.
To get to what we're all here for, I have made it hobby (and you should too) to edit past written work. That includes: poems, short stories, scribbles, big stories, journal entries, washroom stall graffiti (I kid, I kid), etc.
I cant help but become a grammar Nazi looking at my old posts on Blogger. Horrible! (Loud shriek.) Believe me when I say this, I love and respect the English language, but it is so damn confusing. Now I'm not going to get into a huge argument about it (with myself?) because everybody knows its true (case closed). But I think it's a good habit to fix old errors, you never know if 100 years from now, your great, great, greatest grandchild will pick up one of your old writings and wonder what the heck your saying. Well, that and to become a better writer, simply put. If you don't want to read your own writing, who do you think else would? (You can pay someone sure but, actually, no buts..)
This is just a mere suggestion from one scribe to another. And it's probably the only 'good' suggestion I have. So, take it while it hot!
P.S. - I will update my blog appearance when I have the time. Right now it looks like pre-Google internet years.
P.P.S - I am also thinking of adding fancy images and photos la dee da.
