Blogging, day two, and I'm already in a pickle.
Promising to be funnier, more insightful, and pithy in my original posting seemed doable at the time, but now, not so much . . . I spent 15 minutes writing my profile so readers would know who I am, and I think whatever funny and insight I could muster may have landed there today. As for pithy . . . What the heck! Who aspires to be pithy? Pithy requires wrapping things up succinctly with some on-the-nose observation when what I was really hoping to talk about was the "rabid badger" and "bullet creased butt," 5 of the 10,000 words I have written for my book.
24 hours into this exercise I've realized two things: 1) It should have been It Was a Dark and Stormy Night not It Was a Cold and Stormy Night. This goes to show you that starting this blog was a sudden and perhaps capricious endeavor. And 2) My commitment to finishing my novel in a year's time occurred on the first day of spring, 2010. This means that next winter may be a longer, harsher, and colder winter for me than any Wisconsinite deserves, but come March 20, 2011, a bright and beautiful and commitment-less spring will be in my future.
How's that for pith?

Here's what I always say - architects (and writers) never make mistakes, they make revisions! That's why life is so great - you can always make changes!
