Plans.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about the blogverse. A site like Post Secret reminds me that a very small number of these pages do indeed have the kind of potentially life altering, perspective providing material I think they do. So many blogs (like this one) are entierly selfish. They are places for people to TELL the world what THEY think. Few blogs foster any sort of interactive conversation. I don't count comments as part of this interaction. Often these are elicited in some way, shape or form. But as much as I seem to be crapping all over 'personal' blogs -- I write one, so I must like something about them.

Beyond the narcisism, I enjoy making some things public. Once its out there, you are accountable for it --I like that. In this spirit I am putting out there something rather outrageous...something that I have never done before. I am telling you out there in cyberspace that I will be writing something creative over the summer months that I will attempt to publish. The time for thinking and hiding is over. Now is the time for pen and page.

I am looking forward to this with great enthusiasm...even in the event that my work is unilaterally rejected. I'll keep you posted.

Peace.
