Write what you love is universal advice to writers. It sings to anyone who loves to put pen to paper, or words to screen.

It also encourages writers to write about writing. We wouldn’t subject ourselves to the imposing blank page or the trials of editing if writing weren’t a burning passion.

So it’s good to write in a community about that art, and all the pains that come along with it. Take it as an invocation, or an ode, or just venting. To share that love with other writers and hear what brings us all to this same place, well that’s good enough reason to start a blog about the one thing that keeps us up and frustrated.

Sure it’s a passion.

And since writing, unlike my characters, is a constant companion, I have endless ammunition to make me want to grind out some more carelessly structured sentences.

Here’s to hoping some have worth.
