A blog is like an electronic diary – a regular, current recording on a defined theme.
My primary aim in writing this blog is for it be a venue where I learn and practice the art of writing a blog. What it is about is also important but the practice element is the prime mover.
This and the theme will involve locating and manipulating images, links to other sites, or other information which parallel the inner journey. A new journey given my primary relationship has, for decades, been with pen and paper, and a wobbly, grey, bulky, beloved old Remington Standard.
Theme wise this is to be a regular, personal reflection on my journey as a committed wannabe writer, situated firmly within the context of everyday life. And journalling is alone.
So it is both nebulous – about writing in a very general sense – and specific – one persons experience. The challenge will be to make it relevant and real, and to avoid thematic shapelessness and self-conscious writing. And at the same time to make it work.
