I started this blog about a month ago with the intent of writing weekly. Once again, this was a month ago. Despite failing my initial intent, again, I have been happy with the writing that has come forth from my fingertips since I said, “Please Ignore This.”

So in the interest of claiming I will write here once a month, I am writing now. The journey to writing fiction has been wonderful and terrible in waves of joy followed by waves of “Why the fuck am I doing this again?” But fortunately they ebb back to “joy” for longer periods than that whole despair and doubt portion.

This year, I’ve already revised and “finished” twice as many stories as I did last year. Now, to be honest, last year, I really only “finished” one short story, and I’ve now finished two. But I’m well on my way to finishing revising a third. This I think is key. Although I have projects that won’t likely finish and perhaps don’t even have that intent, it is good to have some that do simply for the pyschological boost finishing affords.

I hope I find myself here again at the end of June, still possessing more optimism than pessimism.
