Friday, 10/22 -- Writing right, a'ight?
This should have been posted at 1:00, but the Web site was down...
anyway...
I should start writing my blog entries at 2:00 in the morning because that's when I seem to have so much more to say. I was up late last night staring at the ceiling with all kinds of things that I wanted to express in the blog, but here I am 12 hours later without so much as a topic.
If I took on the task of being a professional writer, I think that I'd have to work unusual hours to get any creative work done.
I have always played with the idea of writing for the sake of writing. I think I could create some fairly interesting short stories or even a novel. I always thought that I needed more life experience to be able to do it well. I guess that's been my cop-out.
Maybe tonight, 2:00 am, I'll start my professional writing career with some gawd-awful poetry. I'll include lots of cuss words so people will think that it's edgy and raw. Perfect for my first children's book.

Alright, I'm about to sound like [even more of] a pretentious twit, but you reminded me of a great quote, "Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do." --Jean-Paul Sartre.
And so now I feel like babbling on about how "I found it in my Bartlett's!" [mildly obscure movie reference]
Some will take that as a cynical quote, but for me it is the early 20th Century's equivalent to "Just Do It".
That and the dude was French, so you know...
I'm certainly no expert in properly expressing myself, having stupidly shut the creativity taps off years ago, but you really should explore writing more. You certainly have talent. You can write.
Of course, you would make me happiest if you wrote a TV show so I wouldn't have to read so damn much.
