Hey all,
I realized today that I miss writing notes to no one on facebook and myspace. That in mind, I decided to start my own, real, "blog"-thingy.
Do I have a lot to say? Well, no. But that won't stop me from posting lots of meaningless, though sometimes mildly amusing, posts.
I'm planning on posting something every day because, with my new job, I have a lot of time that isn't as functional as I might hope. The posts could be anything from random stories (they won't be too day-to-day, I swear) to pictures. It will probably also include random thoughts, lists and short fiction that I've written.
The point? Well, it's partially to hone my skills as a writer so I can consider doing something with the written word beyond rewriting copy stories. But it's also...to create... something. And to take that something and share it with people about whom I care, along with some strangers, I assume.
I am including a picture in this post, which anyone who has been to our condo might recognize. I took this about a year ago on a whim. I didn't put a ton of thought into the composition or anything, but it's one of my favourites that I've taken. I've taken pictures where I've spent minutes framing and I haven't like them nearly as much as this almost-snapshot.
I could probably argue for some meaning in that (trusting your instincts, or something about random chance) but it would be arbitrary.
I hope you enjoy my blog.
Your friend and lover,
Jason

The first comment, hoorah! I like your style, Jason. This is a good idea for any writer. Almost like a journal, but not as indulgent.
I find that I have trouble devoting time to my quill n' inkin'. (I made that up, you likey?)
I watch as my husband takes time out to play his music and mix or remix what he's done-- he takes so much time to get the little things right.
But I can't even devote a half hour to writing something not work or school related. It's all about priorities, my friend-- and I think you are well on your way to getting yours straight.
Thanks for commenting/reading, Em! I appreciate you saying that thing about this not being that indulgent. Sometimes when I'm writing, as much as I like it, it does seem horribly indulgent. I think if I say indulgent two more times, it won't sound right anymore. Indulgent. Indulgent. Yep, it was true.
You should make a habit of writing. I like your writing, Em. I miss your writing.
