I am a firm believer that true writing has to be honest.  All through 12 years of public school the mantra "write what you know" was hovering over us like a burden.  As a senior I had a hippie english teacher who in a nutshell said, "No.  Really."  He was quite the nut.  I can recall a whole incident with a chair, a plate, and a can of spam - but I won't go into that.  I started really writing back then and found my voice.

Anyway, to be truly honest to what I write will mean listening to ALL the little voices in my head - not just the nice ones.  I don't do or say evil things but sometimes the little images and ideas creep in there among the sweet nothings.  For this reason I am starting a new anonymous blog.  I have facebook and myspace like every twenty-something does but I needed a space that truly was just mine.  I doubt J.D. Salinger would have gotten many books out with his mother looking over his shoulder remarking, "Isn't that a little dark honey?"
