My first Post

So here we go. This is my first post on this blog....and I suppose this is probably a good time to state my purpose, yeah?

So I feel that I am making the transition from being an actor and such to being a writer and such. And if I am going to be a writer and such, then it's probably pretty key that I...you know...write.

I'm terrible at journaling. I've tried it time after time throughout my life. But I think this is a really important juncture in my life, and it's a good time to give it another shot.

So here I am. Writing on this blog. And what do I want out of it?

Well, hopefully it will do a few things for me. For one, it would be a nice place for people to come and check out some of my writing. From time to time, I will post samples on here for people to read and discuss. Also, I've realized that one of the hardest things about writing is...actually writing. Just the physical act of sitting here and typing. So perhaps I am not working on a current project, play, whatever. But at least I am putting words on the page, exercising my brain and teaching myself the discipline of writing every day.

I will share with you a fun paragraph I wrote a couple nights ago:

He watches his pencil slowly roll from one edge of the desk to the other. The same, slow, steady pace. In this moment, he comes to realize that a penic is not round. It is, instead, a series of sides. Side after side after side. The effect of rolling is illusionary. Instead, it is tumbling, end over end, facets slowly cascading, blending until the effect of a roll is achieved.



Till later.
