Want to feel powerful?
Use kind words to lift the spirits of others

Just a thought...

Consider everyday
that you are living in the glory days
of your future.

So I think I got it now...

Apparently the trick to this whole blogging thing is to do it a lot. Some even say daily. I don't know, that just seems like excess to me. Besides, coming up with fresh material every day would be tantamount to generating a forced rant. "Forced rant?" you ask and I answer, "Yes, forced rant." And while most of my friends would tell you that I could pull it off, even I recognize that a high percentage of my rants sound great in-studio (metaphor for my brain) but not quite so interesting once you hear them.

The other thing is, I do write every day and late into most nights. But my ideas come in the form of fiction and turn into longer stories. I just can't imagine anyone wants to experience the tedious process of me developing a story over the course of days. Imagine getting hooked on a character or developing plot line only to have it unceremoniously cut out of your life because of "artistic rights of decision". Isn't network television cruel enough? Must blogs also rip out our hearts and punish them for the lone sin of caring too soon?

See, now this is starting to sound too much like a rant. Can't have that. Moving along, I've decided to challenge myself creatively with this blog stuff. I'm going to develop a short story and instead of useless daily rants I'm going to offer less frequent posts that will tell a story. And I'm really going to go for the cliff hangers . Be prepared to be dazzled and say, "Whoa!" at least once.
