One writer's brain

by Gip Plaster on April 21st, 2009
It’s foolish, some part of my being keeps telling me, to write without the certainty of an audience.

At this point, I don’t know that anyone is reading this blog. In fact, I’ve told very few about it yet. Who could be reading? What is a writer without an audience?

Here’s what I know: Something inside this brain compels me to write. I must do it. I often avoid doing it because there is no audience, no forum or no topic that comes to mind, but the words always come. A writer’s brain — this writer’s brain — cannot suppress the words.

And they come very easily. Grammar is no problem for me. Sentences complete themselves. Words are always there. A reason to write is not. That’s why this blog must succeed this time. I’m desperate to communicate something, and we can find out together whatever it is — whoever you are, if you’re reading at all.

  1. I think if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there, there is still a noise, but it sure is better for someone to hear it.

    I write physician bluegrass fiction. It is all I know, but I know it well.

    Write about what you know that is unique and the curious will come, because they have to learn.

    Good luck, and stay with it. I had mine up a year before it got any serious traffic. At first it was all I could do to get my mama to read it.
