My Commitment

Lately, I've been wanting to write, yet I haven't been sure what to write about. I like fantasy and I would like to write something like that but I have a hard time coming up with ideas I like. I think what I will do is something that I have to credit Merlin Mann from 43folders for what I heard on "The Merlin Show", about doing something like this. Basically, it comes down to, if this is something I would like to do, then I should commit myself to doing it as though it WAS my job. So, in that case I am going to commit myself to writing a story, crappy or not, every week. So, every Sunday, I should have something posted up here for any one to read. Let's see how it goes. I can't promise it will be fantasy, or that it will be any good, but it will be something and that is what I would like.

Intro

Here I go again, trying to start a Blog. This time I mean to keep to it. Before I didn't know what to write about really, but now that I've had a little time to think about it, I will be posting things here about my journey in attempting to write, creatively. I might interject a few tech things here and there, that's just the way I am, but mainly I want to keep this blog about creative writing.
I've always had that desire, to write something, always had that burning desire to put down a scene or tell a story but the problem has always been that I don't know WHAT to write. And when I get a feel for something I want to put down I realize once I sit at the computer that it's half-assed, not fully thought out and so I determine it to suck and erase what little I have attempted to write. Part of it is being super critical of myself, the other part is that I just can't seem to allow myself to write something, be it crap or not. That is one of the things I have to get over. I need write, be it what ever it is.
