This is my second attempt to update this blog more regularly. Now I will do it from my iphone. Part of the reason I always hated updating my blog was the sheer amount of steps I had to go through just to publish a post. I do not care about fancy graphics or javascript. I just want to write and I want to use this blog to document my progress toward writing. So, here goes...

How do I become a writer? I can write all day, but what does that get me if that writing goes nowhere? Frank herbert, Isaac Asimov, Stephen King... These guys got started by publishing short stories, but they also wrote stories during a time when short story magazines were popular. Who reads short story magazines anymore? How does anyone gain a reputation as a writer writing for magazines no one gives a damn about anymore?

Maybe I should worry less about establishing myself as a competent writer and worry more about actually finishing a story I have started.

I hate writing.
