About this blog, huh? Well, I’m going to attempt to write again. I can’t guarantee it’ll be anything worth reading, but it’ll at least get rid of this nagging voice in the back of my mind. I don’t write poetry. It’s mostly prose and short stories. Although, you may see some poetry, if I’m so inclined, but I generally stay away. I tend to want to poke my poetry with a stick to see if it’s still breathing after the hell I put it through.
Why do I feel this inexplicable (which, coincidentally is quite explainable, as you are about to see) urge to write again? Simple. A friend of mine has been sending various excerpts from a story he has been writing to me, looking for advice, corrections, and generally to help him edit. It has made me miss my days of writing, and all the ideas that have been left to rot in the dank corners of my brain have been surfacing and prodding the inside of my skull in hopes of finding a way out. Sounds painful, I know, but I assure you I am quite unharmed.
So why wordpress? A good friend of mine has maintained a blog for a fair amount of time, posting his writings, which also have made me miss my writing. I have been reading them, catching up with them, and generally pining for my stories. I figure this is a decent medium with which to divulge my ramblings.
And here we are. In this blog. I welcome you to it. I encourage critiquing, comments, criticism (as long as it isn’t useless), or anything else you feel like saying to me. I do hope you enjoy at least some of my writing.
