If I were a betting woman, and believe me, if the funds were at my fingertips I would be placing all my money on the next horse named Super-Fantastic-Funtime-In-The-Lead!, I would say this might be a good shot. After all, ultimately we are in an age where communication and media play a prevalent role in the success of artists of all shapes and sizes. By that line of thinking, this might just provide me with the necessary experience and/or chops to flush out this sad looking 'Author Biography' and get a few literary agents to take me seriously.
In the event that none of the above happens and Super-Fantastic-Funtime-In-The-Lead! is shot out back of the stables and I am forced into a life of red-light district nonsense, this will, at the very least, provide me with a reason to write with more reasonable consistency. That is not to say I don't dislike the editing process, but I feel having cut nearly half the words of my... let's say outrageously wordy novel, has earned me the right to try my hand at blogging (again).
At worst it is a record of my processes, and a way to practice and try new methods of writing. At best it is.... well, all of those things, only I am eating no name brand ramen noodles out of a cup through the whole process.
The name of the blog? Let's just say every English teacher and Communication prof I have had up to this point in my life has always used two distinct words to describe me: Sarcastic and Wordy. And only once was I actually told that our next homework assignment was something I would excel at due to the latter. Only once. It's almost become a bit of a joke. Oh, there goes Kathleen. She's so wordy. She stumbles over words when she speaks in public. Ha-ha.
So, let it begin. Here, today, as I begin novel number 2 while waiting to hear back from the various literary agencies I have appealed to. Let it be known that I, Kathleen Sawisky, am probably going to be sick of ramen pretty damn quick.
