I have a lot of thoughts. Mostly I forget them pretty quickly- my memory is terrible. So I thought it might be handy to write them down: to prevent me from forgetting, and also to force myself to give themselves more form.
The truth is I am writing this for me; it's just that the blog format strikes me as a better way to do it than in a ratty old diary I keep tucked away under my bed, which I am liable to leave on a tube or spill something on- besides, my hand writing is terrible.
I'm also going to keep it pretty raw: I'm the queen of censoring my own writing, and my concern for the elegance of a turn of phrase could easily overwhelm the content, could, in fact, stop me from writing at all.
So, it will probably be badly written, and I'm more interested in pleasing myself than you. Not terribly promising, is it? However, if you do feel you have it in you to scan over my thoughts and offer feedback, I will be exceptionally grateful. Ultimately this is about me finding my way to being an artist again; I'm going to take some risks, I'm going to experiment, and as far as possible, I'm going to write about it here. If you can help me be better, or at least more thoughtful in my work, I will love you for it.
