Yes, yes...I'm mad. I've kept forgetting to post here until it was too late and I was on my way home driving. Then it's like "DANG.IT."  But. I thought I'd get some done now.

I'm still sort of at a loss with what I should be writing for my "professional" blog. I don't really have all that much I want to sit down and say about the writing world; I'd much rather be editing someone else's work. Or reading. Or...maybe writing, if my mind's with it. So blogging, to me, just isn't all that fun, or profitable, really. I LOVE the tone of Stephen Parolini (sounds like Christopher; wonder if there's a connection?)...but I just don't have that kind of voice, or have something similar down yet. Which stinks, by the way. I really want a unique sound. Someday, maybe, I'll have this point like "Eureka! That's IT!" and trollop away all happy and guffawing. I've definitely had that with my fiction writing, and I did like my short stories on writers and their problems...but it's not the same as actually blogging - having a regular site where people would want to come back and see what I have to say.

I think it's because (pinky cramp!) I think I have to write about writing. But I don't, necessarily. I'm also into history and movies and theatre and literature and hockey (bwahaha) and coffee shops and interior decorating and such. But then...that's too much..... How the heck do I tie all that together?

Very odd. I don't what to do with it.

I'm loving watching my buddy Tim get his blog together and seeing how his voice has evened out. He's got a distinct sound. I can recognize similarities in each post as his editor, and I'm sure his readers can by now too.

I DON'T HAVE THAT! At least he has a basis for his blog: science...and he's a scientist. He's got a set base and reserve of stuff to talk about. What do I have? A base in literature and English grammar. Just like every.other.writer.out there. I have nothing unique on that point.

Dunno. I'll have to keep thinking about it. :s
