Introduction

"Remember, a writer writes always."

That's a quote from Billy Crystal's character, Larry Donner in Throw Mama from the Train. Do you italicize movie titles? I don't remember. In any case, I think that's good advice. Since I lost my job in October (and before) I've been telling people that I want to be a writer. Specifically an advertising copywriter. The problem is, I haven't been doing nearly enough writing for someone with that particular goal. So, like the rest of the jerk offs out there, I've started a blog.

I'm going to cover a variety of subjects over the coming weeks, months and the idea is to become a better writer and to show prospective employers how I think. A lot of it will just be therapeutic. I tend to write in "stream of consciousness" style, but I'll try to keep that to a minimum and stay organized. Most posts will be dedicated to a specific subject be it sports, food, music, what I did that day, making fun of myself, making fun of my friends, things that bother me, whatever. But I know that sometimes I'll just end up writing whatever comes to mind, like I am now.

So, I guess that's a start. Maybe I'll be back on Monday with a weekend recap or something less lame. Cheers.
