Poll!

Haven't made a poll in a while, but since this idea (like so many others) has been kicking around in my head for a while, I thought I'd indulge it.

I've mentioned before that I was thinking of writing a column, which I would post at [livejournal.com profile] rocking_thing. Maybe weekly, maybe every two weeks, depending on how hard it turns out to be. Nonfiction does sometimes take longer than fiction to write. Sometimes.

My main problem is that my thinking is a little scattered. There are any number of subjects I could write about, but I would like the column to have focus. Then I realised that that's why I have friends: so that I can ask their opinion. It may be that you, dear people on my flist, are thinking along the same lines as I am, or it may be that our ideas are diametrically opposed. Either way, I'd like to know your thoughts: it'll help me at the very least sift through the morass of ideas I have floating around in my head. (Ph34r me as I mix not two, but three whole metaphors!)

Okay folks, have at it! :)

I am tired and cranky. If I had any sense at all, I would go to bed early tonight, but knowing me I'll probably stay up writing. Gah.

I should probably put down a list of my current writing projects. The active ones, that is. I think I have more than I suspect. I'll probably do that in [livejournal.com profile] secret_history later on today. Just so I can get an idea of what sort of schedule (in the loosest possible sense of the word) I need to devise in order to keep my writing on track.

Actually, I haven't given up on the idea of writing a column about... something. Change, most likely. I've been hesitating ever since I got the idea, mostly because I feel vastly unqualified to be writing any sort of column. The writers I know who publish essays and columns and the like seem to me to be speaking from a position of knowledge and experience, and I have very little that resembles knowledge, let alone experience. I can only write about change as it comes to me, and only from a position of instinct rather than anything more definite than that. I'm rather afraid of short-changing anyone who ends up reading what I write in the hopes of finding something useful or insightful in there.

Enh. I'll sit on it some more and see what happens.
