And So It Begins
Writing a blog is like dancing naked across a dark stage knowing that at any minute, the lights might come up and a crowd full of spectators could be focused on your every move.Today I have the naïve joy and false confidence of putting my thoughts out there knowing that not another soul has any clue of their existence.
I have the absolute freedom to tell the world what I really think about serious controversial issues, or to focus on lighthearted observations about topics that will be irrelevant next week.
I can write as though I assume that everyone in the world agrees with me, because until a comment says otherwise, there is no evidence to the contrary.
I know that this post may one day be read by thousands of people, or eventually die a simple death by deletion, read only by my mother, and my husband (if nothing more interesting catches his eye on ebay or itunes first).
So with that in mind Dear Reader (if you exist), this blog is private quest with public oversight- a means to an end, if you will. It is my declaration that I love to write, and I have the discipline to do it; and ultimately it is the precursor to my lifelong dream of writing a novel without fear of how the world will receive it.
I’m ready to get undressed (metaphorically speaking…) see you at the theater.
