10 Sept 05 I've never really tried a blog before. At this point, I'm strictly engaging in the novelty of a new toy. I'm sure that'll wear off quickly.

I recently (very lightly) edited Perchance to Dream and compiled it from 8 seperate serial parts into one complete story. It has had a few reads (74) but no comments. My insecurity is screaming "NO ONE BLARGING LIKES IT!". My rational mind is all about "it's a numbers game, someone will eventually like it enough to write and they probably represent some sample percentage" or "It's been posted on a previous version of BigCloset, it's yesterdays news. Get over it and write something fresh". That mollifies me for a moment that I panic again and go back to "NO ONE BLARGING LIKES IT!". What can I say? Insecurity is a big player in my life. I'll deal with it as best I can, in the meantime.

I have some other storyline ideas. Some original, some borrowed, some collaborated... in the end it'll be my work, though I may seek input and feedback. However, when I write, it is usually in staccato bursts, hammering out waves of ideas as the muse grants. I rarely map things out in advance. That would actually require planning and cohesive thought.

We can't have that, now, can we?

Well, enough for a first blog
