First off, I have to admit when I am wrong. A few weeks ago, my girlfriend started a blog about her journey from a NYC public school teacher to a makeup artist. You should all read it. She's a much better writer than I am. Anyway, she suggested that I start one and I dismissed it with about as much snark as Simon Cowell.
Over the past few weeks I have looked to writing as not just a possible vocation, but as my salvation. I took a fantastic comic book writing class at the Comics Experience that I highly recommend and the fire was lit. Another byproduct of this class was the formation of a near fraternal bond with my classmates. It that through this bond that we were inspired to self publish an anthology of the stories we worked on during the 6 week period.
Since the end of the class, my writing output has blossomed. I have finished another script for a concept that I want to play with. After another draft, I will post it for my former classmates to critique. Their criticism has always been honest and never patronizing. We all want each other to improve and to succeed.
I'm not 100% sure what the format of this blog will be. I might write about music or movies, but I'm not going to post any mp3's (lawsuitphobia). For now, I will wing it and eat my humble pie.
Cat, you were right!
