9/8/13 - No (Good) Excuses

I missed yesterday's post. And, as the title suggests, I have absolutely no good reason as to why I missed posting anything. I was busy, but most of the things I weren't busy with shouldn't have had to interfere with this. So...to anyone who actually reads this blog (and honestly, if you're reading this, I have no idea why) I apologize for my irresponsibility. I'd like to say it won't happen again, but I'm almost one hundred percent sure that it will. I'm only human.

Now comes that part where I try to think of something to write down here for the sake of writing something. Hopefully there will be more days where I actually know where I'm going before I start writing, but today is not one of those days. My day was kind of boring, pretty regular. Went to Church. Ate there (it was a potluck...delicious!). Came home. Chilled. Started writing this. That's pretty much it...again, it was a regular day.

I've been thinking about what I want to do in the future with this blog, something that will really help me to hone my writing skills. What I've been planning on is maybe a short-story Friday or something cliche like that. However cliche it may be, I think it would be useful and helpful for me and so I'm going to try doing that. I will NOT guarantee that any of them (let alone a few of them) will be worth reading. They're really just going to be me writing random things because I thought at some point that they'd be really cool, even if I had the thought at 3 am and it was something really weird. No matter how I think of it, I'm just going to write something, sensible or not, and roll with it (do people still say that?). If I do have any readers by now (and again, I'm not sure that I do) I'd also love to read any suggestions you may have for those short stories; I'm a firm believer in the wisdom of others. Because I'm just one person and not every person, I don't have every single line of thought possible. I can't imagine things that someone else someone in the world can imagine. I'm just not that amazing. Do I wish I was? No, I don't think so. It would strip anyone else of the individuality they have. Everyone is unique (this is just gonna be one of those mega-cliche posts, isn't it?) and I appreciate the uniqueness (I honestly didn't think that was a word...I tried "uniquity" first :P some writer I am) of that.

Everyone is unique and I appreciate the uniqueness of that (I figured it might have been good to read that sentence without it being broken into so many little pieces).

In addition to any suggestions you may have for short stories (and believe me, if you do that I'll be sure to make a mention of your name/username in the "credits" of the story), feel absolutely free to leave any sort of suggestions, comments, complaints, or anything else you can think of as a comment (please no swearing, racial slurs, or anything that could be offensive to me or someone else). Want to tell me I use too many parentheses? Do it! (I realize I use a lot of them...it's just how I was born I guess). I'd love to get feedback, and I think that it's one of the most important gifts that a writer can receive. So thank you in advance to anyone who leaves good and/or constructive comments in the bottom, and a high five to anyone who makes me laugh out loud.

With those final thoughts, I'm headed off the computer. I'm to that point where I can hardly keep my eyes open. Goodnight!
