Throughout college, the only way I could successfully begin any piece of writing was to start off with an appetizer of two bottles of Miller Lite. Otherwise, I would stare at the word processor, gripped by a fear that the first words I would type would be, "all my thoughts are crap and my writing sucks," and not be able to stop, Jack Torrance style. And that's what I would be forced to submit as my paper.
When I began to write this, it was not an appropriate time for beer (although I'm not saying I don't support day drinking, because I absolutely do!) In looking for inspiration, I came across this neat and tidy wikihow, breaking writing down in it's most simple of forms. I was over-thinking things.
This helped.
My goals for this blog are somewhat broad, currently. I'm hoping as I keep creating, I can winnow and crystallize my objective. As it stands, I hope to share my thoughts on the writing process, investigate forms, possibly review, and possibly maybe ask for help with my own pieces.
I absolutely welcome all feedback and thank you for following along with me.
