Start it up.

I am now doing what all the Little Women desired. What Anne Frank was doing, before she knew how well known she would get. What all the people we read about in history class dreamed of, by candle light, with their fathers inkwell. Writing a journal, in second person, as if talking to someone. But, in fact, I am, and I think that's what all people who kept journals secretly wanted. Someone to read it.

But, that's kind of scary. It's scary because people could read it, but maybe they won't. It's scary to think that I may spill my guts and no one will read it.

Anyways.

For all you out there. This is a blog whose main purpose is to make myself a better writer because I believe that writing is the most important and influential art. Great writing makes people change their mind, as does great speaking. They are hand in hand.

The writing that I present as most important is the writing that is presented directly to the audience: dialogue. In movies, video games, speeches, blogs. The writing that hits you in the face when you switch on the television. The words chosen by the news, by politicians, athletes, or your roommates - who can say the same thing in different words depending on how they are feeling.

When looking into the entertainment world, the people we that go down as the best are the ones who could write. Those people are totally in control.

Arguments, as discussed in Thank You For Smoking, are won by the person who makes the last, best point. When no one knows the truth, the elegant speaker, the debater wins.

The power of words just blows my mind!

Goal: blog 3 times a week.
