First post on new blog

12.07.2014

This is the first post on my new blog/website/thing.

I’m trying not to worry about formatting and the look of it and stuff.

I’ve started clean.

I have not imported any of the nearly 600 blog posts from my past, what – 15 years – no, more like 10 – on the internet.

I have always loved the idea of a blog.

I remember that when asked, once, 16 years ago, to describe my life in 10 years, my description involved writing every day.

Everyday.

That sounds like a blog doesn’t it?

I mean, or a professional writer.

But I’m not that, yet.

(That reveals less ambition than you think.)

Fear is revealed through qualifiers.

Don’t you think?

I’m going to stop and adjust a preference on this program.

So let’s just acknowledge from the beginning that this is for me as much as it is for you.

Sometimes, it’ll be more for me.

We don’t know what we’re doing, but that’s also part of the point.

“The struggle is real.” – Phil Cogley

In my past, recognizing that other people had experienced what I was experiencing made a big difference to me.

Fake it till you make it.
