Blogging
I am finding so much pleasure in writing my blog. I find myself thinking about what I am going to write next.
I remember reading an introduction to a book by Kurt Vonnegut and he talked about creative writing. He gave many rules, one being that every writer needs to write for someone.
I think my blog is who I am writing for.

I have a tough time not thinking of this person or that person when I am writing in my blog. That kind of hog-ties me. but who should I write for? Myself? I wouldn't be online if it were just for me. strangers? they never leave comments or come back again.

I think what Kurt Vonnegut was getting at was that what one ends up with, talks to the reader like a one-on-one conversation.
I feel "hog-tied" at times as well. But sometimes that helps me streamline what I am writing.

I have a list of the 100 greats novels (put out by Random House) that I use as a guide. It has been very fun to read some "classics" for the first time.
I read Brave New World and 1984 for the first time last summer. I kept thinking why didn't we read this in highschool untill I got to the sex scene in 1984 and I remembered "Oh yeah, I was living in Texas!"
