New Addition

So I added a new little gadget to my blog called "Followers". I'm really not sure what it's supposed to look like since Blogger didn't have a very thorough description of what it is but I thought I'd give it a try. On the right you'll see a section for followers and you can add yourself if you feel so inclined. No, it probably won't make you famous. But when I get famous you can say you knew me before the papparazzi started chasing me, and you'll be on the blog to prove it. If the gadget turns out lame I'll probably just get rid of it.

You may be wondering what I've been doing with myself. The short answer is not a whole lot. I've been sentenced to at least another month of forced laziness due to my uncooperative vein. After a couple days of pouting about it, I decided to become a famous writer.

If only it worked that way. Why do all of the really great writers live in Maine? Am I missing something? It's cold there! Maybe that's the point: it's too cold to go outside so they sit inside and write all day. I would too. Not that I'm getting outside a whole lot here in the sunny side of the world.

I've submitted a few of my poems to some literary journals and a couple more are ready to go out to journals that only accept snail mail submissions. I would love to write a book and have been toying with some ideas. It's tough to hold on to inspiration though. Yes, I already know that writing involves a lot more discipline than just writing when you're inspired... I'm trying to adjust. Being as my income doesn't depend on it, it's hard to make myself do it some times.
