Me and My Writing

Wow...so I guess it's been quite awhile since I last wrote something. Well, me being me I thought that I could be the best blogger in the history of bloggers.

Obviously I am not.

See, my problem is that I lack direction and motivation...or at least I lack the kind of direction and motivation needed to blog more than every few months. How Piscean of me, yes?

And it's not like this has never happened to me before. Take, for instance, my stories on both Quizilla and Ficlets. I'll have these amazingly wonderful ideas, beautiful bursts of creativity that come flowering out of my brain and blossoming from my fingertips, but I am unable to maintain that ardent love of my creation. I become bored with the story, and then tortured by the idea that it's not good enough. Gosh, I miss the days when I could simply pop a squat at my computer and write for hours on end. At that point in my life it was simply about fulfilling my need to make room in my head. I'm older and so is the world. Technology has allowed me and billions of other people to share their love of writing via Internet. Amazing, right?

Wrong.

Now, in addition to my short attention span and worries about my word choice, I have to wonder whether or not people will like it. And whether or not they'll read it, for that matter. I find the latter to be the worse of the two.

So, I said all that to say what? Well, essentially to say that I'm lazy and truly sorry to anyone who might have stumbled upon this rather poor excuse of a blog. In the future I shall try to be more regular in my updates, not for those of you reading this but for myself. Because, you couldn't care less about what I do. But I've made a promise to myself to less sporadic about certain areas of my life, and my writing happens to be one of them.

So, here's hoping for the less sporadic...and hopefully a post about something a bit more interesting by twelve o' clock tomorrow.
