Hi, friend.

New Plan: Be a normal person. July 7, 2010

I have a bad habit of starting noble artistic projects, loving the freedom of working on them for a few days, pausing for a bit, then immediately judging/destroying my own work. I can’t begin to describe how many hours I have spent tearing pages out of old notebooks: poems I thought were dorky, songs I thought were overdone, drawings I knew weren’t good enough. It’s something I do. I’m not proud of it, but I’m pretty confirmed in my ways.

I’m going to try to break that habit.

This isn’t much of a post, but it’s tiny free fall off of my personal cliff. I’ll try to post everyday for at least a month. Somehow I like pretending that the Internet is a bottomless pit that I can just shout into with no repercussions. I like writing. And the Internet’s least useful to me as a bottomless pit. I need to deal with the fact that I need outside criticism to improve my writing/reasoning. And, deep breath, I’m going to give it a shot.

So add me to your blogroll, friends. I’m sick of being your humorous Facebook status patsy.
