Doing some minimal research this morning, I found http://www.problogger.net, a site with some potentially crucial information for bloggers. Geez, every time I dig in a little, I find the hole goes deeper and deeper! I have a lot to learn and a lot of work ahead of me. Sooo I guess it IS true that nothing in life is easy.
This afternoon I'm meeting with A.J. Sweatt, a personal writing hero of mine. The man just bubbles up with humor, something I'm always striving to cultivate (I wonder if one is just born with the ability to turn a witty phrase?). I'm excited to discuss his writing with him, and to glean some tips for striking out on one's own.
While I enjoy the nonfiction work and hope to eventually publish articles, at heart I'm a fiction writer. At times (like today) I can physically feel the force of images and ideas pushing at my sternum, trying to escape. This feeling is the inspiration, now the next step is to simmer down and communicate the kaleidoscope images to others. Isn't that always the hardest part?
