Direction? Whats that? I am struggling with what to write, how to write it and just powering through doubt and writers block. Lets start with writers block. First things first. I am not a writer, It's not my profession and I know this. That said, it's my intention to get better through just Powering through and reading a great deal more than I do. Time is a constraint for me or I would enroll in a writing class.
I might come across as being down on myself but no!, I have know where do go but up, as in getting better. Sentence structure and organization are a huge obstacle that I need to overcome as well as direction.
I think of something to write about but when it comes to laying it out, I hit a wall of frustration not willing to power through when I just need start and complete. I sit down in the evenings and jot down rough drafts on paper only to crumple the paper and try to hit the garbage with one shot.
So what do I do? I think my best course of action would be to simply sit down and write. It would be helpful if someone was to respond with constructive or destructive criticism from time to time. I'm a big boy and can take it and Lord know I've got it coming. I know several people that write for a living and I have been reluctant to let them read all this rubbish. People of Note; Eric Williams, Sports writer for the Tacoma news Tribune and great neighbor, Reg Kittrelle, Entrepreneur and word smith of countless Moto publications.
Direction with the Blog
It has always been my intention to write about Motorcycle journeys, events, and adventure. I am not going to write much about past trips and adventure as there done and my recollection may not be accurate, Instead writing as trips unfold and memories are fresh. I started the Blog at the start of winter when the Northwest weather puts a damper on most things moto. This doesn't offer fuel for content. Or does it?
Time will tell as spring offers up weather worthy of good adventure's. I guess this sums it up. If your looking to read words spun like a true writer, articulate and crafted with words that boggle the mind, you might want to wait until I get better. If you don't mind the writing's of a soon to be retired construction worker, Stay tuned.
One last thing. Maybe I have trouble comprehending what I read? I say this because as it turns out, I'm not a very good editor either. I still find spelling errors while reading past posts. It is my belief that a person that teaches ones self to do something, generally do it wrong and get real good at it making it hard to change all the bad habits that they have perfected. I worry I may fall into that catagory and am trying hard to avoid it.
Later
