It Begins at The Beginning

          Well, here I am.

I’ve been juggling the idea of starting up a blog for quite some time now. To be quite honest, there was just the one thing that was stopping me; I was, and am, admittedly, much too lazy to take the trouble to sit down and type this or anything else out. 

           The real reason I even started up a blog? You could compare it to a guy in quicksand throwing a lasso at a dead branch. I'm an author. Ish. I haven't published anything yet, but I've finished around four novels, three of which I've re-written twice already. Right now, I'm in the process of re-writing the entire plot of a trilogy for the third time. (Any other would-be authors reading this, I so know you can relate to this. Am I right?)


           Well, so, the real reason for this blog is that lately, I've been having issues with the whole pen-to-paper thing. No, not writer's block, I know that problem.  It's nothing to do with ideas. I'm basically writing the same thing again but with a few major changes here and there that I've already thought out. Ideas are just not the problem; I've got far too many of them, to be quite honest.

           My problem, to put it bluntly, is that I'm lazy. Heck, it was a strain to start writing this up in the first place. But I'm hoping that over time, y'know, people would eventually start to actually read my stuff and then I'd get the kick up my pants that I need to finish the book.


           Wishful thinking, I agree, but hey, optimism can do wonders. Or so I hope.


           Well, I've started, and I've even done four and a half paragraphs so far. Wow. An achievement, without a doubt. And you, dear Reader, if you've come with me all the way down to this line here, you've just become my new best friend. For real.


           By the way, I should probably mention around now that my name really isn't Mathew Wordweaver. (Big shock, I know). I was thinking of going the anonymous route for now. I'll reveal who I am as we go along. Hope you readers don't mind. After all, I'm new at this, aren't I?

           It begins at the beginning, and then goes on until the end and then stops. Can't remember where I heard that quote before. Through The Looking Glass, maybe? Anyway, this is the beginning, and I'm hoping that there's gonna be a long way to go on till the end. And I'm going to need YOU, dear Reader, to help me out by giving me the shoves and criticism that I so very badly am in search of.


          Sometimes, a little encouragement is all you need to get you going. Let me know what you think of my writing style, whether you feel I should keep going whatever the odds, or whether I should just give up while I can, hang up the cape and go home.

          Right here, it's all you.
