snippets

"rough drafts"--new title for the blog. (hopefully) new approach to writing for it. i've been neglecting writing for writing's sake (and a lot of other things) for a long time, for reasons that felt justified, but weren't. not really. i need to get in the habit of doing it and having it all in one place, not so much because i feel a need for an audience...but because i want it to be somewhere, and i have never been good at keeping journals in real life...i just buy pretty ones and never write in them.
so from here on out there will mostly be snippets. ideas. a few words strung together. practicing writing.
some of it will be stupid and not really worth reading. but some of it might be beautiful.
like learning a song on the piano...and being patient as the fingers slip onto that wrong key again and again. and anyway, it is the act of writing that matters.

so here's to chasing inspiration around in circles and not waiting for it to hit you over the head
to making a mark & not caring if it's "right", but enjoying the fact that you made it
