I am a college graduate who wants to be a writer. I know that in order to be a writer, one must write, just as a teacher must teach a bartender must tend bar. How the hell can you be an ______er without _____ing? The answer is you cannot be an ______er without ______ing.
I have, instead of pursuing writing, devoted most of my time to coaching tennis, taking care of my dog, seeing my girlfriend, working out and the like. But I don't regret any of that! Quite the contrary, I love those things and most days, they will be the inspiration and basis of my writing.
The purpose of this blog is to get me to write. There is a Mitch Hedberg joke that goes, "I bought a seven-dollar pen because I always lose pens and I got sick of not caring."
This blog will be my seven-dollar pen. Though I paid no money for it, I will promote it, thus holding myself accountable for posting in it regularly, if not daily. I am sick of tossing my writing to the wayside and not caring.
I want to invest in this. I hope you become invested too, dear reader!
