Last night my oldest son, his wife and his father-in-law,
met us for a Garth Brooks concert. This is Garth Brooks' World tour, and let me
tell you it was amazing. I have only gone to a handful of concerts in my life,
and all I can say about this concert was WOW: we really enjoyed ourselves.
Garth Brooks played a song “People Loving People” off of his Man Against Machine album released
2014. I enjoyed the song, but it got me thinking. How am I facilitating “People
Loving People?”
Short Answer: I’m not.
On my first blog, I said I was writing about myself, and I
even made a nerd joke by naming my blog “Captain’s Log,” because my last name
is similar to the last name of Patrick Stewart’s character in Star Trek the
Next Generation. But that morphed into what I have now.
I am writing blogs about writing blogs, which is still very
important. But this is the question in my mind: Is what I am writing creating a better place?
Am I really creating
a difference or am I just another voice in the wind?
So today, I am kicking off my training wheels. Today starts
a new chapter in my blogging life: I
must move on.
So there are two things I am going to be doing:
First, I am going to start making my blog matter. I need to
write engaging articles for my readers, but also to make a difference. If I can
make a difference in just one person's life, than I have succeeded as a writer.
Second, I started a WordPress Account, and I am going to
start writing short stories for now, and maybe that will culminate into
something bigger. This is just so I can get my creative juices flowing again.
This ride is far from over, and this came to me this morning
while the house was quiet and everyone was sleeping.
I do want to apologize at the very onset, if I get a little
too preachy, I am sorry. I am not a preacher, and if I come across that way,
please let me know.
As always I am grateful for all of my readers: Happy writing.
