I have decided that I will try to keep up a public blog. I tend to deviate on the topic of life, since it is so very broad and I have SO MANY exciting things that happen in my life (too bad I don't have a sarcastic emoticon =P ). Anywho, I will be writing on this blog as a writer. Currently my goal is to be finished with the first draft of my first book by January 1st. Heaven knows, I'll fail. No, I won't say that. I've got to succeed. There's no other way out of this! I'm commited!
All right. For those of you who don't know my life's ambitions and goals, which would be just about everyone, sometimes including myself, I want to be known as someone who told a good story, and who was completly consumed with God's love and the love of God. I would also like to learn how to pluck a chicken and build a log cabin. But seriously, I believe that I was given a pen to wield and a mind to move it. With this pen, and with stories He will teach myself and others about His love, His plans for us, and the marvoulous gifts of life and victory He has given us. I will not, I cannot live a boring life. I care very little for monetary success, but I do want to leave beautiful chaos in my wake. I want to stir up the people, to cause them to lift their eyes toward Heaven. If by God's might I can do this one thing, then I will have succeeded.
But for now, hold on tight, and prepare yourself to see the world through my eyes (and I have to warn you, my vision is a little blurry, but no matter! When I wake and look around, I see no blemishes. Everything is in soft focus.) My little brother is reading over my shoulder, looking up at me whenever I stop typing. This is very odd. Normally my pen stares back up at me.
Speaking of which, did you know November is one of the busiest writers months? So if you know a writing friend, and they are acting a little crazy, its not you, its just NOVEMBER.
Happy November 12th! Celebrate by matching together a pair of socks for tomorrow!
