Hello.
I thought I would start a blog on writing. I know the
internet doesn’t need one, there are plenty already; this is something I need.
I will cover any subject explicitly, implicitly,
tenuously or contrivedly connected with writing. I like to provide myself with
the widest possible pool to draw from.
A word about my situation. I am attempting to write a
novel; a fantasy type thing with a detective mystery at its heart. I have tried
many times to get past the first burst of writerly inspiration and complete a
project; so far with little success. I procrastinate shamefully, I get repulsed
suddenly; I always end up bored and ditch after a promising start.
I feel the way around this is to write every day. To that
end I commit now to blogging. A post a day. I will try to get it written in the
mornings, straight after I get up; a time I usually dedicate to Facebook. I
will steadfastly abandon the multitude of benefits I derive from looking at cats,
dinners and self-aggrandisement and instead crank out words and thoughts on the
writing process as filtered through my own experience.
Clearly I will be the main beneficiary of this, however,
dear reader, I hope you also get something from it...
All the best
Si
