Learning how to come up with blog posts has been challenging at times. I want to be able to just write about whatever I happen to be thinking about or feeling at the time, but I also would like to have an audience who wants to read me, who looks forward to reading me. I thought about a Bukowski quote that I had saved years ago and it seemed fitting.

“Somebody at one of these places asked me: “What do you do? How do you write, create?” You don’t, I told them. You don’t try. That’s very important: not to try, either for Cadillac’s, creation or immortality. You wait, and if nothing happens, you wait some more. It’s like a bug high on the wall. You wait for it to come to you. When it gets close enough you reach out, slap out and kill it. Or if you like its looks, you make a pet out of it.” -Bukowski
