Does anyone read this? I know that i have given out this address to friends and family, but honestly on the little graph that shows how many times your blog has been viewed, there is like two here and that is because I have been looking at it. I don't mind if it's not read often though. This blog is kind of like my baby. I'm writing this for myself so I can practice my writing skills and give the world a little slice of Mandarin.
I think that's how the best things start. When you start a project or adventure to fill something in yourself rather than please the crowds. When you are doing somethings simply because it brings you joy and you would die if you didn't have it, that's when you do your best work. I watched a cool documentary recently about the author and artist of the HUGE graphic novel 'Bone'. 'Bone' is a massive, beautifully drawn, epic fantasy that pleases all from second graders to grown adults. It's that good. In the documentary Jeff Smith, the creator, kept talking about how he wrote 'Bone' for himself because he wanted to write something he wanted to read. It wasn't a story dispatched to him from some company. It was an idea that he came up with and nursed to fame. There are countless stories of artists, scientists, and many others who succeeded because of their own curiosity and ideas. They weren't doing it for anyone else. So that's why I don't mind that no one reads this except for Amazon and I. Prism is preparing me and my talents to get better and succeed. I am writing for my best self, not someone else. But I'm not saying that I don't appreciate those who bump up the Times Page Viewed up to two! Read any time!!
That totally contradicted everything I previously said. Sigh, Enjoy my contradictions!
