First Thoughts

Rules for writing:

1.) Keep your hand writing

2.) Don't cross out (don't delete)

3.) Don't worry about spelling, punctuation, grammar

4.) Lose control

5.) Don't think. Don't get logical

6.) Go for the jugular

It's hard to just write without thinking about all the things that "writers" are supposed to think about. Hitting the delete or backspace button is second nature, and has happened about twenty times since I first started working on this post. I'm finally at a point where I see editing as important, so I probably shouldn't give it up.

The rest of them seem possible. Logic has never been an issue :)

When trying to figure out direction for this, Witt kept coming back to the idea of what people are supposed to get out of this, but I don't think others will really read this. Blogging now is so common place, that even if I do link this to my Facebook and Twitter the only people who will definitely stay up with it already know everything about me. So, this blog is more a practice of self indulgence than teaching. Maybe I teach enough already, and this can just be about me or what I think.

This weekend I watched Julie and Julia. It was such a beautiful movie. I loved both stories, and of course thought of a the movie that would accompany my blog: Natalie and Leslie ;)

I'm pretty sure, though, that Natalie would like my blog better than Julia liked Julie's (isn't that humble of me!)
