It’s important to me to make a good first impression

A good first impression would mean people continuing to read my experiences, and the more people read, the more I can contribute. This first post centers around my epiphany for creating a blog, and the events that lead up to it, well, because why? It’s such a simple question but more than just a one sentence answer.

As long as I keep life events to myself, they are free from being fixed, simplified, misunderstood, and by keeping them private, they remain eternally nuanced, mysterious, and fluid

However, there has been this calling, to utilize this magical power. To write is to love, to sacrifice the nuances and mystery I want to keep to myself, but allowing others to see the world from my back or on top of my shoulder. To write is to create a new world for others to seek refuge in from the other alternative worlds- where madness, hatred, segregation, fear, competition, hecticness, control, anxiety takes over and souls are long lost in the wilderness.

When I have a story that somehow forms in my head, it refuses to let go until I feed it and feed it until I need to write it down or I feel like I might burst, it’ll be all I can think about and in a way will just consume me

I want to share that journey, and any other good reads I find along the way, here. So if you’d like to stick around and come along on the journey with me than I am glad to have you here!

Cron suggests that stories fail when they are merely a series of events

This happened and then this happened and then this happened. It’s like you telling me in boring detail how you drove to my house. Quite frankly, I don’t care how you got here, I just care that you’ve arrived safely.

Good stories keep moving you forward because something happens that leads to something else happening. There’s a causal relationship between events that connects them and makes sense to the reader. Everything happens for a reason, but sometimes it takes a while for that reason to be revealed.

The author’s job is to make you wonder what happened and why it happened.
