New, Amazing Things

The idea of London was to open myself up to a new world of endless possibilities (I made that up just now, but it seems like it would be a good idea for what London should be). Well, I have just experienced something I never could have dreamed up (I probably could have but I don't have dreams like that)...you've probably already guessed it but: I ate a strawberry vanilla chewy granola bar! WHAT? I KNOW! I had never even HEARD of those before. They're very good, I recommend it.

Other than that, I'm having a difficult time laying down the foundations of some new work and I feel like I've lost sight of the core of why I want to write anything in the first place. It's a phase I (and writers everywhere) go through every other week, but it's still a disgruntling feeling when it happens. So I'm going back to the basics: telling a story and entertaining. I hope to post a couple dumb short stories here soon and see how they go. My goal is for them to be about very little, and to leave an impression on you the reader for the  rest of your life.

We're taking a weekend trip to Stratford early tomorrow morning, so no blogs until probably Sunday--plenty of time to write something worth reading. In the meantime I'll be kickin' it with Shakespeare and a few of my bros (and broettes) gettin' crunk and reciting beautiful sonnets. If anyone going on the trip is reading this...bring along a sonnet you've memorized so that we can recite them when we get crunk there. That's what I'll be doing.

Enthusiastically,

Adam
