FuFri and, well, my future.

The one where I discuss my future, the present, and occasionally the past.

Are you like me? I know we're different, but in a way we're all the same. Sure we are at different levels of writing skill. We live in different parts of the world. But, aren't we all here for the same exact thing? Seriously, I'm asking. What are you here for? Here being this electronic virtual blogosphere that we would've considered SciFi when we were younger. I mean, this is the new future. Oops, I meant this.

If our realities about future technologies are changing from what we thought as a kid, are other things changing too? We've all been paying attention to the development of eReaders and the potentially profound affect they'll have on the literary world. What about the basic idea of a book? A beginning, a middle, an end. So, we log on every morning or so and see how others are going about their book. Where are they? In the beginning. The beginning of the beginning? We all write in our own process, but if you're like me, you need someone to forged a path ahead of you. Most of us are that way. How many times have you compared yourself to a published author? Lowry, DeCamillo, Mass, Black, Hiaasen...the list goes on and on. They've all made it. Did they have the help of tubular blogger friends or did they make their own path. We know Lowry didn't have blogger friends, Al Gore hadn't invented the internet yet, and somehow she managed to change my life. In five years, when my book comes out, will my acknowledgements be five pages long as I attempt to list all my virtual buddies? Will I even have a novel coming out in five years or will my ADHD prevented me from finishing because I've spent all my time on here? Lots of questions, very few answers. I am not necessarily asking you, my dear friends, to answer them for me, I am just babbling here.

Admission: I am a sick, twisted person addicted to blogging. It's really gross.

Proclamation: I am taking drastic measures. I will continue to blog everyday, but I am going to develop a template by which every post will be derived. Unless I am nervously sharing my writing or my progress, each post will be under four hundred words, this also excludes captions and SAMS days. I am doing this for so many reasons: 1. to save me time 2. to save you time 3. I believe it'll teach me the value of a word 4. I don't want to be a time-waster anymore! 5. I am trying to cut down on my use of commas. At first, the quality of my posts may suffer, so I beg of you, please bear with me as I become acclimated to using such few words. I am excited to see how well I handle this as I still try and accomplish my goals by March 11.
