I am a writer.
That much I know, still know after 25 years of shuttering it. Dammit.
So now what?
Am I a poet? A novelist? An essayist? A blogger? Is blogging legitimate enough to even count?
Novelist seems most practical. It’s not as naked as poet. I can craft character around their story, and weave my philosophy throughout.
But here’s the rub: I have NO idea how or where to begin. A book told me to just start writing, so here I am.
The only idea I have is to describe my ideas in small expository babbles, then build story and metaphor around it.
As far as creating characters, dialog, descriptions of shit, a goddamn narrative…I’m like total WTF.
