Thursday afternoon and I'm freezing my ass off in apartment that is too big to be so cheap and too old to be fashionably fitted with proper insulation. I won't pretend that this latest endeavor is original at all; like any artist I'm stealing my idea from those around me. I started this blog over a year ago and posted part of what I could only describe as my artistic genius for all the world to see. Well guess what there's a lot of genius out there, and its a fair bit better than mine. Last night though a movie got me thinking; you can't write something like a blog hoping people will read it. you have to write it for yourself. The movie was Julie and Julia, where in Julie Powell a virtual nobody from Queens decided to cook her way through Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child and blog about her experience. I thought wow, what an idea. I identified a lot with poor Julie Powell, nearing thirty, in a job that didn't quite fit, and also could relate to the mountain of things I was starting, but never finishing.
So....this is where my blog goes from now on. #1 Find a purpose. #2 Set a goal. #3 Write diligently. #4 maybe learn somehow to write along the way. #5 Finish something that I start. I don't know what I'll blog about exactly only that it will be what I know. I have always said after all real life is much stranger than fiction.
P.S. If this blog ever does develop a readership please understand that I'm an artist, sort of anyways, and not a writer, and I will do my best to keep in check the boundless literary mistakes I am destined to make. So if you fancy yourself the novice editor bare with me and be kind.
