What is in front of you?
Someone special said to me today...and I quote..."It is funny how you don't really see the things that are right in front of you sometimes". Now thinking about this more carefully I hope it doesn't apply to anything really important like driving....or eating...cause both these things would be a disaster if you couldn't see in front of you. I am pretty sure this statement was meant in a more metaphorical manner.....I have come to realize my passion for writing and blogging seems to have helped...I have been starting to write a book now for years and just can't seem to make it work...but blogging...well blogging is much easier...say what you want and for some reason people want to read it. Why? Why do we read other peoples thoughts? Why do we tell the world ours? Perhaps because you can type what you feel and it just goes out into cyberspace somewhere...and the faceless crowds eat it up like zombies eat up flesh. unlike zombie food blogging is not going to feed my hunger to write...so if I want to make any money I may have to venture into the printed world. The only question is what do you write about that people will read?....steamy romance...based on true events maybe?...hehe...or sci-fi? I have a few ideas in mind...so the question I have to answer is what do I see in front of me?...and do I want to see it? What do you see in front of you?

i have called myself poet for many years. i have kept a tattery old binder full of scraps of thoughts. i am attempting to complete my writing course. ihave attended writing groups and non credit classes. i have maintained my blog (or more than one) since 2005. i have even thought about printing off my blog (or parts of it). we'll see. a writer is not easily defined. to me it is both what we are and what we do. i have aspirations of making money writing. delusional? maybe. maybe not. write what you feel, hop around like minded bloggers, and you will be followed, encouraged to find your own voice.
