A Mild Epiphany

Maybe I’m going about this writing stuff all wrong. I keep looking through Wordpress’s writing tag (on the Tag Surfer), hoping that I’ll come across some other website/blog with the magic tip to get me going or the right contact to get me published.

It’s crap; it’s a stupid, idiotic waste of time.

I think a couple of books might’ve been written way back in the stone age, before everyone had a blog and a cell phone. Someone surely wrote a short story or a poem or two without wigging out over who to send it to or how quickly it’d hit the search engines and feed aggregators. No worries about “social networking” or who to link to or who’s blog to comment on.

It’s stupid.

Anyways, Patti just got home so I’m wrapping this up early. Just wanted to share that little epiphany real quick. I think I’ll try to stop surfing the web in order to market something I don’t have yet or get inspirations for something I can’t write and just worry about making something up on my own.

After a smoke and a nap though, of course.
