New Beginnings

I've gotta admit... this whole blogging thing never quite panned out as I had expected. I pictured myself posting everyday, enlisting a legion of shee- err, readers who would wander the earth to carry out my most evil of plots.

...

Or something like that.

But between the new job and other recent events, I just seem to push off my "writing hour" every night.

Yes, I'm supposed to have a "writing hour."

At Comic-Con this year, I went to a panel called "Fans Turned Pro"... supposed to be some kind of inspirational talk designed for inspiring writers to somehow glean something of great brilliance in a 60 minute panel.

What did I take away from it?

Brad Meltzer, while working a "day job", promised himself that no matter what he'd write an hour a night, just to keep sharp while working towards publishing his first novel. I really like Meltzer's comic work... his novel that I read wasn't too shabby either... so I thought this was a hell of an idea.

I adopted his plan, determined to spend at least sixty minutes writing every night. Be it on here... something more creative... whatever.

But so go the best laid plans of mice and men.

I think I've written one hour total since then maybe. Of course, I could give you the excuses... crazy project at work... really busy weekends... umm... uhhh...

Eh... I'm just lazy.

Go Dodgers!
