Why I Write This

11/9/08 I wish the world would read this but I really want a place to vent and organize my feelings.

Blogs are supposed to be interactive. But you will notice that this blog doesn't have a place for the reader to post a comment. That pretty well shows my priorities. I spend my life listening too, and needing to weigh the opinions of others. This is about the single place where I can coherently vent my own views and feelings. I hope others find it interesting, but truthfully that is pretty much a distant second in importance.

With writers, there is a feeling by publishers that nearly all writers put too much content into their first novel. The writer has been storing up all this "stuff" that he or she needs to get out. So, the first book often becomes a rant. Well, that pretty much describes my situation.

There is another reason too. This blog is a great place to put "stuff" for easy retrieval in the future. I have been in so many conversations where I will make a point and someone will say no, it can't be... Now I can store those documents relating to the points.

You will know I am beyond this when I open up the ability for the reader to post comments.
