An opportunity to write came across my desk. I'd never considered doing any sort of writing, especially if it were to be read by any form of the public, as I didn't believe I had anything close to what was needed to do such a thing. After giving it a whirl, I was surprised by the acceptance from it. I think it sparked a creative side of me that I didn't know was in there. I've painted in several different fashions, with a brush on canvass, with a spray gun on my truck and even by painting delicate toys with my daughter. In order to paint, you need to sketch, so I did that as well. I always enjoyed the doing, but was never satisfied with the end product. There were always areas I didn't like, but when you paint, you can't just erase what you don't like. My creativity spawned over to photoshop, it was painting, but came with an eraser. I still photoshop paint and love it, but I still am unhappy with everything I do, there are always little things that don't turn out right to me. I guess writing won't be any different, I'll still see things I don't like, but as I noticed with the painting and the photoshopping, I was a quick learner and enjoy it every time I get the opportunity. Writing requires less. It's just me, my thoughts and a piece of paper or a blank screen like this one. When I sketched in my paintings, I had an idea in mind, but very rarely had the image in my mind, when I did though, it always was nice to see it come to life. I guess that's all I want out of writing, to see my thoughts and ideas out there somewhere, if for nothing else, for myself to read, so I can learn how to do it better.

I strive on constructive criticism, feel free to pass on a thought or an idea as I go along. Keep in mind though that I learned already to let the words fall onto the page and to go back after and edit it into the proper form. If you read something that just doesn't make sense right away, that would be me puking my thoughts out there, so that I don't lose the idea. I'll go back after and pretty it up.

So. I guess I'll start.
