New Title, More Fun!

Epiphany strikes hard.

Hello, to my four lovely followers, and any one else who soon joins in, or stops in for a visit.

I had an epiphany today. While scrolling through my usual and unusual reading lists of Medium stories, I noticed SO many articles about how to write for profit, how to get a lot of followers, how to monetize your blog, why you should write like “this” or “that.”

And I thought to myself, “Self? Where are all the writers who say ‘just write for fun’?” And I realized, I just might be the only one in the WHOLE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!”

In reality, I am sure I am not. But, you just don’t see “it” out there very much. So, here I am, telling you that this blog is about writing for fun!

That means: no stress, no writer’s block, no screwing around with unnecessary research, no. . .whatever. Just write to your heart’s content.

Now, keep in mind you still want to put out a good product. So, you’ll have to try and pay some attention to structure, grammar, spelling, plot lines, and stuff. But that is just standard stuff. Don’t worry too much about “writing what you know” or “SEO” or “what’s popular” or “what’s getting the most hits on Google.” Unless you WANT to write for money and profit, you sell-outs!

No, no, seriously. We all want to make money on our writing. But to do that, we have to, well, write, and write. And we have to write well, and we have to write what people want to read. But before we get to that point, in my opinion, you have to WRITE.

THAT’S what I am talking about. By the way, when I write in caps, that means it’s IMPORTANT SHIT!

Just start off writing like you speak, then re-read and re-write what you need to.

Hey, for those of you who don’t know where to start, this is a great place to begin. Next thing you know, you’ll have an article, and the more you write, the better you’ll get.

Then get on Medium and find a publication that will publish you, and share on Twitter. It’s not that hard.

It may take a while to find a following, or your style, or your voice, or your topics, or whatever. But write it, and it will come.

And for Gosh’s Sake, do NOT worry about what the freakin’ “elitist snobs” think. Some of them can’t put two words together without 3 comma’s, Grammarly, and spell check!

In the upcoming articles, among other interesting bits and pieces, I am going to dissect some of my articles and show you how I write for fun, discuss how I came up with some of my ideas, AND how I became a world renowned poet with my first attempt at poetry, EVER!

We’ll also discuss all the things I want to discuss, and maybe some things you want to discuss, and maybe not.

Seriously, though. If you don’t mind, share this with your followers and on Twitter, and other social media accounts.

If I am ever gonna make some money off this stuff, I need some followers.

Write On!
