Fish All Intransigence, part 2

I must be in a really good mood, or something. And all I can say is: please, Lord, let it continue.

In thinking about the fact that this blog has no apparent purpose or subject, I decided that indeed I could do something--write a blog--that actually does have a subject and a purpose.

I have a name for my new blog, and it's shown above (sans the "part 2", of course). It's going to be a place where I will write things. That is, it will be writing and about writing, and I will use it as a vehicle to tell stories, make observations, philosophise, and explore the wonder (and the idiocy) of the world around me.

No, I won't be discussing religion or politics, at least not directly. What's the point in that? I'm not looking for an argument or a debate, though I expect some of the things I write will spur thought. And thought, as we know, eventually finds its way into our mouths (or our fingers). Run with me on this metaphor, OK?

But Robin L. Ashwood, my nom de plume alter-ego will write "Fish All Intransigence", as he (or is he a she?) has the best perspective on things. Who I am in "real" life, after all, is mainly inconsequential. I'd much rather be invisible in most respects, but not invisible in the areas of my choosing. That's the point.

I tell stories well. I amaze myself (no, I am not bragging) that I can form thoughts on paper in such a concise, logical fashion. My pages hang together particularly well. All I need is practice to form a more fluid style. Since I've already written a rather long novel (part 1 is about 320,000 words; part 2 is at 200,000 and still being written; about 500,000 words have been written and discarded already) I would have thought my style should be developed, but I'm not so dense or ignorant to think that writing is ever a goal or an end to be achieved.

It's a process; an evolution; dare I say--a journey. Yeah, I know I'm being cliché, but the thing about clichés--they're true.

Well, I've exceeded my "quota" for today. Visit my new blog. It might be interesting.
