So.... hi... Saturday, December 31, 2005 |
So now that I have most of this place looking decent, I figured I would make my first, official post. I know, I know, I already posted once but that was more of a "Here we go" post, this is the real thing.
So I don't think I covered much before, and I know I didn't tell you that I'm 21 and I live in North Carolina. I moved here almost a year ago (Jan 3rd) to work in the sport of NASCAR. I love racing, it's something that I've never really been able to explain to anyone who asks me what the hell I was thinking moving down here. Have you ever been so taken by something that even though, technically what your doing doesn't make sense, it's never been more clear? Yeah, well that was me last year. Nothing has ever touched me, or moved me more than racing has. Well, OK, one thing has and that's writing but we'll get to that in a second. Yeah, that's right. This one's going to be a long one, so buckle up. Anyway, racing is my thing, it's a part of me and so that's what I'm going to do with my life. Here's the thing: I have like 456 other things that I also want to do with my life, one of which is writing a book.
I've never been one to be open with people about what I'm thinking, doing, going to do, ect. So this blog is sort of like my outlet. Because I'm going to let you in on my secret... I'm writing a book. That's right, I'm going to do it. I'm a fair writer, I know that or I wouldn't have worked, or more importantly gotten hired, at a newspaper. I was always good at writing in school and really just love to get creative.
So, that's my new project. Along with finding a way into the racing business, I'm going to write a book. I'm not going to talk about exactly what the book's about yet, but let's just say it might be a little magical. That's right, I'm a Potter-head (as in Harry.) But I'm not writing another Harry Potter book, so don't worry about that. I'm just writing and creating my own world that will probably have some Potter-ish things in it, but you know what? We need an American wizard, right? I think so.
So that's about as far as I can go plot-wise right now, because I'm still creating most of the world that my charactors will be inhabiting, plus I can't have some crazy sucker come steal it right? Even typing this it sounds ridiculous, but I really don't care. I have to do what feels right to me and damnit, this feels pretty good. So anyway, that's it for now I suppose. I'll be back tomorrow and the following days to tell you all how things are going and just what's going on with me in general. Can't wait, huh? ; )
Happy New Year.
