Day 1 (March 1,2008)

Well, I suppose I could explain the title... Write something already!

More than anything else that I can think of, I have held the deep desire to be a 'real' writer for a large portion of my now 26 years. I loved reading, and thought, 'wouldn't it be great for other people to read and enjoy my stories; to be lost and consumed by my imaginary lands or places'. So at least from the age of 12 I have wanted to be a writer and have expressed that.

But, it's not like I can just take a course and that ensures I write a book, and its published and Oprah chooses it for her book club, and it's on the top ten Best Seller list for six months, and it gets turned into a movie... or a tv show.

SO, over these years, while I have done a good amount of writing; I would gather that I have done considerably more daydreaming about it.

I think, that I think too much. Even when creating this blog, it took me forever to come up with a name; as if it was really that important. : )

I do want to write though. I want to write a book, and a tv show and a movie. I want people to enjoy whatever it is that I have to share via my writing.

Really though, a better way to describe myself is a 'story-teller'. I think the usage of the word has all but disappeared these days but that's what I see myself as. I love experiencing all aspects of a story and I have a deep appreciation of the different ways in which they can be told (including musically).

Anyhow, I thought that this might be a way to encourage myself to write, something.
