what you know

i've set up my new 17" flat screen monitor. holy crap is the screen ever big.

i want to start writing again. not blogging but really writing. and yet, i don't know what i want to write about. they say, "write what you know," but is what i know interesting enough to write about?

i initially started this blog to get my creative writing juices flowing again. i also started it to see whether my journal, stream-of-consciousness, informal writing style would work as fiction and then i thought, "of course it works - it's called 'Bridget Jones' Diary'." :)

i initially thought of putting together all of my blog entries to make a book of some sort. but there needs to be a theme and there needs to be some sort of coherance. i'm not sure what the common thread in my entries is. relationships perhaps? i have lots of different relationships but the one i'm really aiming for is one that has alluded me for going on five years now. how many books about love and loss and reinvention have been written? does the world need another one?

i think i'm inspired by this giant screen. well, i was using a 13" monitor prior to this one so this one is giant.
