I'm Baaaaaack

Well, I haven't written in a while but there is a reason for it. I am not a writer. I remember reading once about a woman who told a famous author that she wanted to be a writer. The writer (and I can't think of who she was) told the woman, "If you get up every morning and all you can think about is writing - then you already are one."

Now I have some good ideas from time to time and I can, every now and then, turn a phrase. But many times between the idea and the execution (putting it down on paper - well you know what I mean) I have a tendency to drop the ball more often than not.

Now I know a guy from a group on the net (who shall remain nameless but his first initial is Terry)who really is a writer. I know he is still up at midnight and rises before dawn and he is not only thinking about writing - but doing it. I disagree with a lot of his political views but I admire his thought process and his perseverance. I have his a link to his blog "From the Cheap Seats" on my blog page - go take a look. I like to think of him sitting in a room with a cheap cigar smoldering in a ashtray and a scotch on the rocks leaving rings on his old desk while he bangs away at an old Smith-Carona. I know this isn't the case - but I like the picture. I remember one time he told of his agent getting him a job doing some rewrites on the script for a porn movie. I loved the idea of it - Xaviera Hollander meets Hemingway. Give his blog a read sometime.

Well. All for now. If I believed in Adult ADD I would be its poster child but I am going to make a sincere effort to write more.

Later friends.
