A LESSON IN BLOGGING

To begin you must do exactly that. Begin.
no rhyme or reason. No explanation necessary. Typos are welcomed and anger is entertainment. So, breathe in, breathe out. Maybe even stop breathing for second. Okay, that's enough. Breathe again.

Now, what random inquiry plagues your mind today? Or better yet, what insight can you offer the world? Laughable? perfect.
Write it. Think about it. Stop thinking. Type.

If you want to develop your skills, then you must be free from the need to be skilled. Free yourself to express emotion and embrace emptiness. SImultaneously inscribing your feelings with your skills with your musings and your discontent with life as it is. Are we getting there?

Forget punctuation. Forget rhyme and rhetoric-- just flow. It's like rapping. but not. Thank God, because you are a horrible white rapper. Not you, just we. By we I mean everyone who attempts to rap. Or rhyme. or write. It becomes good because we say so. So, I take it back. I'm a good rapper. There, I said it.

You must dismiss any anxiety about judgement and joking that may arise from your reflections. Push aside the pain you may find arising in your articulation. reject any ridiculous notion that the publication of your private thoughts might be understood. It probably won't, unless you are overly explicit. And no one really engages your art anyway. Yet, you should take comfort in knowing someone is happy to browse your work and constructively criticize your feelings. You don't have to read comments if you don't want to.

Don't try to be a hero. You don't need to save anyone or fix anything. Just be you. And take the risk to let others learn a thing or two. It isn't really mindless if it is your mind that is writing. less. less is certainly more. So say it clean, straight, and simple.

Find God in it. FInd solace in it. Find yourself. LIke that famous author once said: I know not what I think, until I write it down.

So. go ahead. BLOG.

Now you know how.
