Trying to post more
So, I was watching this video on the interweb the other day. It had Ira Glass in it. I think the intended audience was aspiring film makers, but he said some things that resonated with me as well. Basically the idea was that if you want to be good at an art form, you have to do it a lot to get all the crap out of your system. I took it to mean that if I want to be a writer, I have to be more concerned with writing a lot of stuff, before I can worry about the quality of what I am writing. The idea, I think, is that practice makes perfect, and the more I write, the more practice I will have. Therefore, I am going to try to start blogging more. Then I will be getting more practice. I don't know what I will write about, but I think I will just try to write about things that I think are interesting. I suppose that could lead to being an essayist or something, right?
