    It's A Matter Of Voice

    So, you who know me from such places as “Off-Topic Forum” and “Survivor Bashers”, where are the political posts? Where is the hardcore sarcasm? Where is the Dweeze we know and, well, tolerate?

    I’m here.

    But this is a new venue for my writing. I don’t feel entirely comfortable here yet because I haven’t found my blog voice yet. But I will. It’s only a matter of time.
    Writing is a wonderful thing to get paid for doing. I’m lucky in that regard. But getting paid for it (and no, you probably have never read anything I’ve been paid to write, cause it is work-related writing) teaches you that you’re going to try out a lot of different voices before you find your true voice for a venue. And that’s what I’m doing right now. There’s some politics coming. There’s some sarcasm down the road. But for now, I’m doing immediate writing about what is going on in my life, and the play is the thing.

    Just be happy I’m not writing about poker or fantasy football.

    If you are looking for your blog voice, I believe it is behind the couch. No need to thank me.

    I was thinking that, but we just cleaned and there wasn't anything there. Unless one of the boys dropped it there last night.

    I find that my blog voice changes more than a class of 8th grade boys.

    Oh, and my couch smells like pig pee. I need to blog about that.
