So, I've started this blog. For the first time.
'Everyone's doing it,' (is that an excuse to jump off a bridge?), and I thought I could do it myself basically as a writing exercise.
But I have to loosen up to get there. I'm shy, basically, especially about something as important to me all my life as writing.
So, I'll keep at it. I won't expect anyone to read it.
With all that goes on in modern life, why would anyone read anyone else's blog?
They could be famous. They could be a talented writer. They could be doing something important.
I could eventually talk about living and coping with pain and a disability, but I'm not there yet. Maybe that would be helpful to someone somewhere. Maybe it would be helpful to me in understanding myself.
So to loosen up, I'll just write. It may not be pretty ... or worthwhile to anyone but myself, but it is SOMETHING.
Right now I'm on Blip.fm, playing Beauty by Spindrift. I didn't know there were yet MORE of their albums out there. A morning gift.
I was looking for anything by the band, Brass Buttons, but nope... nada. Where o where dost thou lurk, makers of music I like?
I just found this interesting type of writing beta website call One Million Monkeys Typing. If you'd like to check it out, here thou goest:
It's a cool idea... and good premise for the name.
I'm so tired this morning. Don't think I slept the best kind of sleep. For a while I was having amazing dreams; I'll have to share some of the ones that won't feel diminished by sharing their special energy. Dissipation is to be avoided - even without limited inner resources. A wonderful person helped me out by writing them down during that period when trying to type was like accidentally throwing a frisbee at a 90 degree angle when the person is straight in front of you. Who knows what letter will eventuate? And circling back around, that is the basic idea behind the Million Monkey site.
I hope everyone has a lovely and peaceful morning. I'll probably be back sooner or later today.
We will see what will be.
