I have always wondered what people find to blog about or important enough to post on Facebook. Now that I am a blogger, I find lots of little things to say.
I use this time to reflect on my perspectives and maybe think of various plot points I might like.
I remember saying some of the most ridiculously bold and provocative things mostly because I never thought about the ramifications. I would say something like "I hate female drivers" even though I am one, when what I really mean is "I hate inconsiderate drivers" and it just so happens the latest inconsiderate driver was female.
I never quite realized how judgemental and idiotic I was acting just by not considering the full consequences of my statements. Now that I am free writing, everything a character does must be thought out and consequences must be identified even if it takes 20 pages to be realized. I never considered how writing might affect my behavior as well.
As for various "eat my words" statements over the years...well I'll leave those undisclosed. Suffice it to say some where really judgemental and should never have been said. Consider this a long in coming "learn from my fail" moment.
