Writing......

What is it you have always wanted?

Is it the girl of your dreams, is it he man of your dreams, or is it fuck the people what I really want is an iphone?

You can have it.

Just take one step everyday and before you know it you will be there.

It might take a lifetime but if you really want it, if you really want something like true love, then you won’t mind the journey so much.

If you are like me you will get pissed off, but over all happy and committed to this thing that you love.

I love to write and it has taken me this whole lifetime to get that, that’s what I love. I have been writing about 20 or 30 minutes a day for the last 6 months.

It has been difficult given my schedule and it’s a love, so I do it.

The gist was it was this…… you can say you are a writer (like Landmark style) a declaration, but declaring something doesn’t make it so. The actions, the results, the thing living out in the world, in my community, being shared by other people that makes it real.

Part of my plan is to use this blog to share with you all how my writing is progressing.

So……… here is a snip of something I am working on.

Thanks for the insight Art!

I dig in. I dig in for the last time in my life, the last time I can remember trying ….

There is a crack; I hear it before I feel it.

I see blood, not knowing it is mine.

I had dug in to make sure I got a piece of the one that was coming up. I dug in cause I knew I was going to knock the stuffing out of the this one.

So dug in.

I took it just above the nose.

The pain came at the same time my knees buckled
