How the heck do you find something to write about and then put it to paper (or the computer screen, duh) in a way that makes others want to read it?
I wasn’t sure when I started what the answer to that question might be, so I just started typing away, hoping it would fall into place. Whether it has fallen into the correct place is up to you since the reader holds the power and always has, which makes the writer even more paranoid about the process.
There is some irony in that. As a writer, you are probably also an avid reader. What you read, when you read it, why you read it, is such a personal process. As a writer, you tend to think in that same way – who is my reader, why would they read what I write and when would they opt for reading what I’ve written at the sacrifice of all other things they could be doing?
I don’t have an answer. I just know I want to write and hope what I’ve funneled through my brain cells out the tips of my fingers ultimately brings enjoyment to the brain cells of those who take a risk and read my blog. Looks like you’re a risk-taker – good for you! If you haven’t closed this blog yet, there may be hope you won’t until the end has been reached. At this point, I have no idea what that end may be...I find some comfort in that. I’ve always liked surprises.
