And it was talent that saved them all
So, you think you have talent? I'm sure you do. We all do. Many anonymous people who have lived before you had talent and most went untapped throughout their lives. Now, we can blame all around us...the events that unfolded; the circumstances of the time; our burdens and responsibilities; even the weather...for not using or even discovering it. In the end, we have no one to blame. As I read this, I am discovering for myself that I am not a good writer. I think I once was but, like all gifts, it is fleeting and has strayed to another's fingers and thoughts. Perhaps it is my mindset that has changed. More defined by my place in life...a father, a husband. More bound to my current life...computers, 1 and 0's, logic in direction, etc. Am I a prisoner? Is my only knowledge of my prison the fact that I wrote something someday? I have no longer a desire for something greater than me. I should have never bitten into the apple.

Writing, like most talents, goes by the wayside the less we use it. So write. Write whatever ticks you off or whatever you like to see. Post links but describe what you think about them. No subject is taboo because this is your place. Write and it will become easier and better.
You think I have two blogs because I want to put up a stupid diary online? No...I want a forum I can write and at least throw it to the net (no matter who is or isn't looking), and even maybe get a comment or two that might lead to a discussion that teaches all parties something.
Cool to see you here man. I don't know about writing every day, but keep writing and you'll learn to love it more.
My talent? Well the only thing I can do well enough to admit that I could be truly great at is playing the piano. Wish I'd taken my own advice and actually kept with it....
