Well...

2 poems and 1 chapter today. Guess I sort of am a "writer". Getting there at least. And hey, the night's still young.

I kinda feel like I turn to poetry writing when my attention starts wandering. Which sometimes makes me feel like a horrible person. I often just string words together without much thought and post it. Then I'll occasionally get a comment analyzing it. I don't tell them how far off base they are. I was probably thinking of burritos and not the meaning of love when I wrote it. Sorry.

Maybe I'll have to add that to the descriptions. What I was really thinking.

Maybe not.

Long, long ago, when I was an angst-riddled teenager, I wrote with meaning and purpose. I'd also spend hours analyzing the meaning of song lyrics.

Then Incubus told me a song was about an arm falling asleep.

So I stopped.

And wrote stories about soup bowls instead.

Yeah, I'm just procrastinating now.

And I kinda wanna watch Labyrinth. Which is a word a am eternally grateful to have spell-check for because I will NEVER learn how to properly spell it.

Dear Catastrophe Waitress

It's possible I have Belle & Sebastian songs stuck in my head. SO. GOOD.

Anyway. On to a real topic. Namely, my life.

As I was driving to pick up dinner tonight, (Outback curbside pickup ftw) I decided a few things. The most significant being that I am going to stop going back and forth on the whole "do I go to college or not" and the "what am I going to be when I grow up" subjects. Because I have decided. I really am going to be a writer. I might end up the starving artist sort but I doubt it. There is absolutely no legitimate reason as to why I cannot be a successful writer. There's barely a reason I can't do anything I put real effort towards.

So there ya have it.

I'm going to write. I'm going to get published. I'm going to go on book tours and get invited to nerdy conventions. I'm going to hopefully inspire other young people to follow their dreams and stop believing in limits. I'm going to raise my son to not only think but know that he can do anything.

If more people knew that then the world wouldn't be in such a precarious place at the moment.

Yep, I'm gonna be a writer folks so better keep your eyes out :D
