Lets start at the very beginning
A very good place to start. — The Sound of Music

I am a writer. I have thoughts, a voice, and a creativity that I need to let loose. The one thing I need to get better on is the confidence. Working on pilots, books, and a web series that may never actually happen doesn’t help fully up my confidence level. It definitely helps some, and I’ve gotten so much better at actually taking the time to write. The past 2 years I have worked my ass off brainstorming and eventually putting to page all these ideas that I have inside me. They’re typed up. They exist. Some need a little work. Some may need an entire construction crew to fix up, but sharing with the occasional friend of family member who so generously offers only slightly helps the feeling that I’m writing into a void.

That’s what this blog is for. I want to be able to share my writing. And I will never truly know how many people are actually reading it, but it’s out there to be read. That’s what I’m doing this for. I’m sure I will get into all the details of my struggles in coming posts, but the purpose of this one is to begin. You can’t start anywhere without a beginning, and this is my blog’s apparently. I could take the time and get all introspective about that, but again, not the point. This is just the first thing I’m putting out into the lovely internet that is slowly ruining society as we know it. So instead of rambling on, I’m going to share 6 lines of a scene I apparently wrote 6 years ago. I don’t why. I never wrote more, and I don’t plan to. I don’t know where it was going, but I’m posting it just to say there is value in everything. Not sure what the value is yet, but it’s there.

BARRY – I want out.

VERNON – We made a pact.

BARRY – A dumb, stupid, painful pact that I want out of.

VERNON – Really? 2 days. That’s all you could handle?

BARRY – I have needs.

VERNON – You have something.

And so we begin…
