Blogging Creativity: Post Numero Two

I guess I really should just chill about all this, considering that I'm the only person who will ever lay eyes on this thing. Unless I want to give the link to Greer or Willa, maybe, but no one will accidentally find it who knows me well enough to identify my writing style. So, I need to chill and stop worrying about what people will think.

I guess it's just weird that I'm writing for an unknown audience. With my handwritten diary, it's easy to understand that I'm the audience, and I can write whatever I want to on it- weird ideas, hopes, emotional breakdowns, all that stuff. Only problem is, I can lose that diary or someone could find it. Here, though, it seems much easier to keep up. Maybe. My writing will be different, though, because writing things out longhand seems to get me more thoughtful prose. Even if I end up tiring out an idea because it takes me too long to get the premise down.

I think it would also be cool to get a compendium of stories that I'm working on and force myself to write once in awhile. I have all these ideas in my head, but I'm ridiculously lax about getting them all down. It's strange. So, more discipline is what I'd like for Christmas.

...how do you do the Blogger equivalent of an LJ-cut? It baffles me.
