Epiphany!

I've got it! I've finally decided what this blog is going to be about! Or, more like what this blog has been about all along. Excuse me for being a bit slow on the uptake, but once I realized where I wanted this to go, I couldn't help but share.

This blog is going to be about writing.

I know, fairly obvious. In fact, it's downright pitiful that it took me so long to realize that my subject was in the title I made myself! If this is what you're thinking, and I must admit, I am, then you are entirely missing the point! This blog will follow the life of a writer.

So what? You say.

There are hundreds of writers out there, several of which have already made a name for themselves and are so famous they could ask a stranger for a latte and they would get it. That's fine, I don't like lattes anyway. I've actually never had a latte before. That's not the important part. The important part is that I am not them. Who wants to read about someone who has already been published, already braved the rejection seas, and already discovered their areas of expertise and writing style? If you want to do that, you could go to a book store and buy the $20 book they've already written about their lives. You may also choose to purchase the eighteen dollar book someone else wrote about them,

Here I will put to screen the story of my journey. My goal is to publish my first book before I graduate from college. I know I'm not as revolutionary as the guy who wrote Eragon at age seventeen, but I'm not setting out to impress you with my youth. I write because I must. Because "there is a fire in my bones and I have grown weary of holding it in, in deed, I cannot." (It's from the Bible, go look it up. The Bible has a bunch of terrific one liners.) I write for me, but I have chosen to share this experience, this process, this journey with you.

That's not to say I will stop being random. I want to give you a real picture of a writer, and the fact of the matter is, we don't always think in straight lines. I mean, how boring would books be if you could see the ending from the beginning?

Well, now that I have made this announcement, I'm going to sleep. The sooner the better. Who knows what adventure tomorrow may bring?
