I read this article, Learning To Write Good Tips, and right after the tip, turn on your laptop, it said to write with a distinctive voice. Which is a real problem if you end up in an ankle bracelet every time you write with a distinctive voice.
Still, I think I've reached the point where there's not a lot left to write about jello molds and rutabagas, and I'm beginning to feel the need to move on. If by now you still like jello molds and rutabagas you may be beyond human aid. Of course, in my book “beyond human aid” is a feature, not a problem. Regular folks make me fall asleep.
So yeah, I'm feeling restless. What I'd really like to do is explore new ideas, write about totally new topics, but I'm going to have to send you guys into the minefield first while I hang back and coordinate the emergency response teams. I am, after all, the author. You guys are the readers, and in my little hierarchy, that's just how things work.
I'm one of the fortunate ones. I have more than one distinctive voice rattling around in my head so there's no limit where this could take us. There are so many areas in life where I possess that rare combination of zero expertise, firmly held opinion, and no shame. I can't wait to share it with you.
So what do you say, are you in?
