The Obligatory Inaugural Post

I've decided to create yet another blog. The purpose of this blog will be to publish my literary writings.

I will not wait until my writing is all neat and polished. I'll simply publish what I have. It may even remain unfinished. Just whatever suits my fancy.

I think I need to do this.

I write a lot, but I don't actually show a lot of it off. I don't even finish a good part of what I write, especially if it's prose.

Part of the reason is that I lose enthusiasm during the writing process. Other things get in the way, and the critic in me is so loud, because my writing does not live up to my standards in a hurry, that I just leave it aside and don't come back to it.

So I'm hoping that blog readers will happen to land on this blog, want to read whatever I have posted, and maybe comment. Hopefully the comments will be good, but even if they think my writing sucks, oh well. I know what won't be worth my time.

This blog will feature many first drafts and unpolished pieces. I'm amazed that some people actually like the first drafts of my writing. Does it mean that it's good? No. What their appreciation does for me is give me the enthusiasm to carry on, because I know I can make it better.

Deep down, I think I'm a pretty good writer, which is why I cringe at some of the stuff I write. I know that if people like my first draft, they'll adore my fifth draft.

I fully intend this blog to be entirely self-indulgent. I am going to publish whatever I feel like, and if other people don't like it, well just too damned bad, I'm showing off my wares.

Some people are probably wondering: why "The Uterus"?

If you look at my other blogs, you'll realize that I'm a pro-life activist. So it neatly ties in with that theme.

My writings are the product of my fertile mind. :) And this blog is a like a uterus, carrying my little babies, who may come to term, or be miscarried.

I rarely abort literary activities, i.e. rip them to shreds. It'd have to be something atrociously bad or offensive.

So there you have it: that's what this blog is all about. Thanks for reading. I hope you stop by often.
