Special Origins Issue

Trying to create a blog under my real name has proven difficult.

I feel like I have to make every word perfect and every idea flawless. That unattainable goal has silenced me in the blogosphere; a place where I yearn to have a presence.

The simple expediency of writing under a nom de plume, so unfamiliar, never occurred to me until just a few days ago. Since then my head has been full of bloggy things I'd like to say.

So here goes: My attempt at a place where I can write without self-editing and without fear that my less-than-fully-baked ideas will cast doubt on my other, more formally published writings.
