Welcome, welcome. Come aboard and have a seat. Grab an oar. We're all in this boat together and I can promise you some rough seas ahead. Life jacket? Did you just ask for a life jacket? We don't need no stinking life jackets here. It's sink or swim, you silly head. Now, adventuring we go! If you will look to your right, we are about to pass the old word miner's cabin. Looks like some shenanigans are afoot. You may want to duck, that thesaurus is coming straight at is! But I digress... This blog - part of my "procrasti-writing process" - is brought to you by my cats. They have evidently gotten tired of me mumbling, muttering, and generally cussing about certain aspects of this writing-to-authorship game and have deserted my office like a bunch of rats fleeting a sinking ship. Such is life. Even the plague afflicting my marketing skills can't seem to lure them back from the sunshine outside. Who can blame them. But here we are, you and I: Two writers locked away in our garrets dreaming big dreams and smelling in equal parts of hope and desperation. We get it. They don't. No explanation will ever make a non-writer understand our compulsion. Again, such is life. So, this blog is for you...and me. It's a place to dig under the rocks of this writing life and drag the ugly little slimy things out into the open so we can name them - and then call them names. It's to make the big monsters just a little smaller. Maybe we can even give some a spa day to make them more agreeable. Who knows, there might even be a chance that somewhere along the way, we'll be able to save each other from the whirlpools and waterfalls so we can all reach the magical land of Success! Welcome aboard, mateys!
Grab a bucket and start bailing.
