Write

Write frequently, write often. Write when you have nothing else to write about, write when you do, write down what you did for the day, jot down notes. These are things I've read and heard for years and either ignored or out-right defied. Then this morning, as I tried to compose the first Real Entry on The Other Blog, I sat stone-walled for a good 15 minutes, my mind a blank.

Writing is practice. Blogging, online journals, updates on social networking sites, even tweets on Twitter; all of these are practice, and something I should embrace if I want this to turn into anything real. More, writing Publicly opens one up to critique and, if you build an audience, demand. Demand and pressure for More, which of course is more practice.

I never really thought of writing this way before. The idea will take some getting used to...

Something something something something

Guess I need to start writing more and get in practice if The Other Blog is ever going to take off. Feels weird to be breaking my years of Internet Silence (discounting the Other other blog). I've been anti-blog/social networking/what-have-you for so long I don't know that I know anything else. But, Ideas. I try very very hard not to have them, but I did, so I have to act on it. And who knows where it could lead? The niche is there, the Desire is there, and, maybe, the Intent.
