I have often considered writing, exactly why I'm not sure. I don't think in words per se, I think conversationally. Talking suits me, it always has more than writing. Writing has always been more like passing a kidney stone, one the size of a bowling ball. I think/speak much quicker than I can write. I've tried tape recording or even using my phone to record my thoughts, but I looked weird and got some very interesting looks.
I don't have any delusions of grandeur, this process will be more therapeutic than anything else. Whether anyone reads what I write isn't all that important to me. I'm more entertained reading my past posts (I have kinda kept a journal), I just make myself laugh! You may believe that sounds mental, but its OK to talk to yourself and even answer yourself. It's when you begin to ignore yourself and saying "I'm not listening to you!" when no one is around that you've got problems.
Most posts will be in a conversational tone, I'll address you (or someone) as if you're sitting in front of me. I may even include contact information. So if you really enjoy what I write you can puff up my ego! If you don't like what I write, keep it to yourself. Just make sure if you reference my material you spell my name correctly. If I'm going to be burned in effigy, I'd prefer proper annotations.
That brings me to some ground rules. This is a blog, not a forum. So there won't be a comment section. You can contact me (again, if contact information is posted on the blog) with any comments or questions.
And in the same manner as Treebeard, “…it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.”
