How does one come up with good titles?
If I said I was going to try to write an entry every day, would anyone even care?
No, see, that's far too passive agressive a statement for me to really feel comfortable asking it. See, the problem I'm having is that I'm a writer that simply put, doesn't write. I've tried to work around this, but it isn't going very far. I haven't done much, if any work on the stories I started years ago, and I hardly write much in terms of non-fiction, either. How am I supposed to be establishing myself as a writer if I don't write? For that matter, if I'm not writing, how could I hope to get published.
I just don't write enough, so I want to (once again) try to write more. Yeah, this rarely works. So far we're batting zero, but it's worth a shot. I need to write more. All my samples of my writing are sickeningly out of date, at this point.
Okay, I'll admit it, this whole line of thought was instigated by cakes.
That's right. Cakes.
I was reading a blog about cakes...
Hold on, let me find you the link.

There, one of the about forty six tabs I currently have open in Firefox.
Other examples include the wikipedia page on Turkish Vans, or the floor plan of The Omni Hotel in Los Angeles. You know, I could have sworn that it was called the Alexandria. Wait... no... that's just the name I applied to the fictional hotel I'm using in a game I'm planning for... The lines between reality and fiction are a bit blurry for me sometimes. I've also got a google search for "porn convention" and "cathedral floorplan" up here. (Anyone out there interested in what exactly kind of game I'm going to be running here?)
Oh but I do believe I went and got off topic. Tragic flaw that will likely spell doom for this entry. Shame my brain just can't handle staying on a single train of thought for too long. Well, unless I decide what said train of thought is before I start. Which I clearly did not do today.
Anyway, I digress from my digression. My point is. I've been looking for jobs, and a lot of the cool ones want an established writer. Oops. (Should have expected this! Alas, I am oblivious to the world, sometimes.) So, I have so many awesome thoughts (to me) running around in my head that I think could make great little bits for a blog (such a dirty word) but I never actually write them down and they end up lost to the ages. Maybe I should write them out, huh?
So, how about an entry a day, huh? Anyone else think it's a good idea?
