New Blog, First Post

Since this is the first post of this site I feel compelled to express just why the hell I’m doing it. Of course, it would be easier if I really did know just why the hell I’m doing it, which I don’t. I know exactly why I write, it’s all here,

The best answer to that question is, because it’s the cheapest vacation I can think of. What I mean by that, is when you create a world full of various characters and events, it’s better than reading a good novel. One has control over the people, places, and events in a world and reality of one’s choosing. All of this can be done simply by letting your mind wander and rudimentarily organizing it all with the act of writing it down. I’m sure Freud would have a thing or two to say about all of this. Thankfully, he’s dead.

I’m just not exactly sure of the purpose of the site. The nearest I can come to explaining the purpose of this web site is that it’s a place for me to talk about what I’m working on, how I’m doing it, and what I’m doing with it. Hopefully, over time, I’ll meet other writer types and learn something along the way. Other than that, I don’t know exactly where this site will go. So, the only thing I do know about this site is that it will focus on writing.

We’ll see what happens from here.

Hi Daniel,

It’s so nice to meet another fellow writer and especially one who loves to write. 
I saw that you had linked me in Technorati.  I am truly appreciative. Thank-you.  Later, I’ll do the same for you.
Do come and visit.  I’d love you to.

I also have other writer friends on my blogroll whom I know if you visit to leave a comment, they will come regularly in return to comment on your thoughts and before you know it, you’ll be enjoying a real camaraderie.

These are my few good blogger friends on my blogroll whom I know would love your company and to visit you in return.

Hi Daniel.

I’m looking forward to reading your stories as soon as you start posting them. I enjoyed the final line in your ‘about me’ page, too.

I’ve put a link on my blog to here so others can find you.

Thank you, Amin.  I will add you as well, and I will be posting more things soon.

Again, thank you.

Hello, thanks for mentioning my blog.

I love the way you phrased your answer about why you write. I once answered someone on Yahoo answers who asked why writers write. My mouth about dropped at the question. I suppose others will never know how thrilling this craft can be.
