It's not easy finding a name for a new blog, at least not if you want the blog name and web address to match up. After about an hour of trying to come up with a name that hadn't already been used (fatcatyoga, bluestocking, writersblock, bookends, spinster...), it occurred to me that no matter what else happens, aside from the sun always rising and always setting, this one thing is true: Bella and Fitz will beg for treats.
I should probably mention that Bella and Fitz are pets not people. Although some people do beg for treats, so it certainly wouldn't be unheard of if Bella and Fitz were my niece or nephews pleading, albeit politely, for Zots or chocolate cream pie. But no, Bella is a dog, and Fitz a very fat despite-everything-I've-tried cat. Both of them LOVE treats and are on a tenacious quest to procure them, Fitz by whatever means possible, and Bella mostly by good behavior.
Coming here, writing this blog, is sort of like begging for treats. I'm a writer with writer's block. My block has sustained itself for so long now that it's become a disease. I am starting this blog in hopes that it will keep me accountable to writing everyday because that, after all, is what all good writer's do. They write. Everyday. And when I do that then maybe the chaos in my head will start to take shape into something discernable. Maybe what I start on here I can take with me into my fiction.
Clarity is my treat. Clarity and truth. It is what I seek after.
