Humble Beginnings

Though most blogs have specific purposes (theological discussion, fashion, warthog bathing), at this point I do not have any specific target in mind. In the past I have written theology in one blog, random thoughts in another, and made an attempt to make my life seem interesting in yet another.

I do not think I will pursue theological/philosophical thoughts here for the most part, as I have mostly received either vocal agreement or hostile criticism, with no real discourse; though I may on occasion posit certain timely thoughts and reflections, I will not be exploring such ideas here for want of avoiding unnecessary conflict.

Since I do not find my life in general particularly interesting (at least not enough to warrant anyone bothering to read about it on a consistent basis), and I do not have any particular topic on which to write, this leaves me with random thoughts. Certainly this is not enough to support a blog (or any real reader base), but it is good for my primary purpose in writing one, namely, consistent practice writing.

Stephen King writes at least 3 pages a day, regardless of whether it is good or not. I know I can not reach a pace like that while maintaining both a full-time job and a social life, but I can make a point of writing consistently. I may post tidbits of stories I am working on, or random thoughts when I can not focus enough on my fiction work.

So really it does not matter if anyone reads this at all. But should you have stumbled upon this somehow, I hope you can find something worthwhile here, be it entertainment, inspiration, or something to mock when you have nothing better to do with your time. And maybe, just maybe, I will do better than past blogs and post more than three or four times, and do so more than once a month.
