I suppose that part of writing this blog is with the intent that at some point, there will be people who are interested in it, and eventually, follow it for new posts.
So today might be a good day to begin to look at my writing. From my point of view, anyway. At some point, you may read my work and get some other kind of meaning from it. But at this point, I'm just thinking to myself, so it doesn't really matter.
One thing that becomes apparent very quickly is that my characters have daddy issues. Now, some full disclosure here, I probably have daddy issues. It's ok. I understand this in myself. So, because I've got these things going on, so does everyone I write. But I kind of look at it like Sam Shepard and all of his stories about brothers fighting for the affection of fathers. I mean...they're all like that. Yet we love his stories because they are fantastic. Not that I'm comparing myself to Sam Shepard. That would be a little foolish (I'm not the lead singer of The Killers, after all). Just saying that if you make a good story, your bad habits really don't matter.
Wouldn't it be interesting if one day I became famous, and there are all these posts on here from when no one was reading it at all? I would find that interesting....
