I think the first step to any process is the hardest, because it's the one that requires the most commitment. Anyone can plan and plot, but actually having the discipline to follow through requires more energy that most are willing to give. That's what probably stops me from joining in the blogging craze.
I write crazy scribbled notes in worn pads and booklets, using any white space I find as a launching point into my next thought. Typing on the infinite canvas of the web feels like a cop-out to me. Like my thoughts are half complete, because I'm not able to take them everywhere with me.
That's the odd dichotomy of thinking that's kept me from blogging. I feel more productive when I write in cheap notebooks, and faster technology may prevent me from feeling so because of the luxury of time.
But there's always exposure to consider. And if I, as an aspiring filmmaker, reject any means of free advertising, then I'd being myself a disservice. So that line of self-interest and potential greed brings us to the first post today.
Thank you for being a part of my continuing journey. Please check out News10.net for my pieces as a Citizen Journalist, and keep an eye on my YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/cooljerkoff) to view my class assignments.

I think the hardest is the 2nd act...that gray area where self doubts creep up and where thoughts can go in too many directions-pulling and nudging until they are back on track again, wrangled in by the god that created them :)
ReplyDeleteI started blogging because i needed a place for 'the other stuff' to go...the stuff i want to say but have no design for (publication).
But i still have all thoe notebooks....
