I'm giving myself less than 10 minutes to write this first post. Because it's late and I'm tired! But since I created this blog today, I figured I'd better make my first post.
I started this blog at the suggestion of a writer friend who, when I complained of writer's block, said I should start a blog about it. So I guess what I'm going to do is just write about my struggles as a writer. My chief problems being a lack of confidence in my artistic creativity, and a feeling of despair that I will never write anything worth publishing.
It's silly really, because mechanically I'm really a good writer. I know I can write. But the problem is, I don't often know what to write about. Unless it just comes to me, sort of like right now.
I think if I just knew what to write about then I could spit out books so fast, that I'd be one of those people that get designated as "prolific writers". That would be cool. So I'm thinking since I attempted a fiction novel and failed there, I've got to remind myself that I failed because I didn't know what I was writing about.
The moral of this tangent is...if I'm going to write, I better write non-fiction or I better have some sort of outline for any fiction I might do.
But more on that later.
It's been about five minutes, and I think I've written enough for now. Hey, it's a start.
