This will probably be on the "About" page
Let’s begin by clearing up some terms.
Fictional Discipline
This refers to the dedication of fiction writers to their craft. It is their desire to write whether they feel “inspired” or not. It is the act of putting words on the page when that act is nothing like fun. It is the vision of a completed work of art that compels them to keep writing no matter how painful it is, or how tempting the idea of quitting sounds, or how much must-see TV they miss.
Fictional Discipline
This refers to the fact that, for many aspiring writers, the concept of discipline is a fiction. Many people say they want to write a book; few do. Many people claim they want to be writers, but refuse to take up the pen unless the magical feeling is there. Many people fail because they aren’t willing to put forth effort.
Fictional Discipline
Is an attempt by one aspiring writer to sit his ass down and write. Even if it sucks. Even if some ideas go nowhere. Even if he literally has nine minutes to spare before life swallows him up again. This isn’t about reaching the end of the journey and publishing the next groundbreaking piece of literature. This is about getting on the road in the first place.

So, life swallows too!
Life is a hungry, hungry hippo.
I’ve been meaning to write to you to tell you you should get a domain name and get serious about the presenation of your blog but I see that you were already thinking it. A big improvement from the blogger template.
On an unrelated sidenote…have you ever played Pirates of the Spanish Main? It’s quite fun.
I have a bunch of Pirates cards, but I’ve had difficulty convincing anyone else that they sound fun, so most of the ships are still unconstructed. I’ll have to put that on my list of things to do.
I like what you’re doing with your — About — page. I like the different aspects of fictional discipline that you’ve tackled.
Yes. WordPress rocks!
I like the font at the top of the page, but I otherwise find your layout boring. It needs … texture somewhere or something. Can you put texture on the blue part?
p.s. I don’t see why wordpress is so great.
p.p.s. you’re an elitist.
p.p.p.s. I really don’t want to clean the kitchen.
p.p.p.p.s – you MODERATE your comments first! You bum!
Damn you, Stan. I had just become content with a non-writing existence. Now you’ve gone and wasted years of effort at excusing my way out of it.
