At this very moment I sit here in my car writing this first blog post. If you are reading this you might be asking yourself, "What is wrong with this guy?" or more likely, "How did I end up here and why do I care?" To the second question I will say I have no clue, but I hope you stick around and enjoy blog. When it comes to the first question I will answer simply this: I wish I knew. Something about sitting in my car here in Sugar Land, Texas, is very relaxing. Here I can write, listen to music, listen to podcasts, and look at random things on the internet, without getting too distracted. Life has many distractions. They are not necessarily bad things, but they are distractions. Besides, as Gary Numan said, “Here in my car. I feel safest of all. I can lock all my doors.” I really do feel safe here, with just the green glow of my stereo to accompany me.
I am an aspiring professional writer. I guess for me it’s not even so much about money as it is I want to have my name on a book. A bit egotistical I know. At this very moment I am working on my first novel, first comic book script, and first kid’s story. My hope is that they are the first of many. My goal is to tell stories. There so many ways to do that now and I would like to have the opportunity, and inspiration, to do as many as possible. At this very moment I want to tell my stories in written form, but that could change years from now.
I had the idea for starting this blog a long time ago. I just could never figure out what the content would be. That was always the question “what to write about?” My interests, inspirations, and views, I try to make uniquely my own. I loved to write stories as a kid, creating a world, explaining something I saw, analyzing the world, and playing with words. This blog originally came about as an idea to; hopefully, entertain those who found it worth their time to read. It is now my goal to use it as an experiment to try different writing techniques that otherwise I would never try. I hope this small space on the world will be something that all those who come across its words can benefit from.
My first attempts at posting will be my attempt at reviewing. What I will review, I do not know. I will write about all kinds of different things I find. New, old, geeky, and just plain weird, are things I hope to be on the lookout for. I guess in an odd way I would ask that you, come sit in my passenger seat and listen (or read) as one crazy writer tries to infiltrate your mind!
I wish you all the luck Devin. May your dreams become reality someday soon. -Simi
