And so it begins.
I've started this blog as a self-imposed challenge to start writing regularly. I figured once a day was a good start.
I am 23 years old and have just graduated from college with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film/Video. Even more recently, I've moved from the DFW area to Austin where I know virtually no one simply because I want an experience independent from anything I have known and through that hopefully find inspiration to write.
Although I graduated with a film degree, writing is my primary focus, but I don't feel very justified in calling myself a writer as I hardly write anything at all, ever, and when I do it is with the maximum amount of procrastination, whining and halting progress.
And now I must write everyday something. It can be reality (which at least starting out I predict it will be) but it must be current or recent past events and not purely reflections on the past, because I am prone to reflection and over-analysis and don't see the benefit in looking to the past anymore given the kind of clean slate I have created for myself with the move. If a story from the past must be told to make a present point clear, that will be allowed, but I will have to avoid the tangents that will undoubtedly try to sidetrack the main point. Fiction, poetry, and lyrics are all valid entries as long as they are products of myself and no other. Other works can be referenced but will be done so in quotes with proper citation of author/s.
