Hello my friends! I've had some big doings-a-transpirin' over the last, well, I guess it's pretty much ongoing. Long story short, I like writing and a lot of people like my writing, so I'm going to write. I don't know what, if anything, is going to come of it other than me writing and some people reading. Ideally if I could get to the point I could write for a living, I'd be a very happy man. I wouldn't say that's impossible. Twice I've started writing books and both times I got quite far along, however both times I had to return to my position as a slave, I mean job, driving a tractor trailer.
Last week I spent about 9 days in Thailand. Those who have the Bookface most likely saw that I had turned my page back on to share the experience with my friends and family. I intended on writing a whole thing and sharing all the pictures and videos on here for my friends here who do not have the Bookface, plus I have always loved this forum, however I have just hit a speed bump. I have made a conscious decision to direct as much energy as possible away from truck driving, which is a terrible black hole here in Boston which is consuming my life energy on a level you could compare with Glamy's wife consuming his life energy. In other words, at an extremely alarming and detrimental rate. I didn't ask my boss if I could go away, I told him I was and he could frig off if he didn't approve. Luckily he approved so he didn't have to frig off, but frig off he would have.
As it turns out, I was exactly correct in what I needed to get my head screwed back on straight. I don't know too many other Americans who decide they may find themselves on the other side of the planet for some reason, but it worked for me. Upon my realization about mid week last week that I needed to severely curtail the truck driving if not end it all together, I was still a little confused as to what I could do to take its place. I love writing, people tell me they enjoy reading my writing, so I'm going to try to write as much as I can and see what I can make of it. This is the first step that could lead me to walking in a direction I'd be very grateful to head, to write for a living. I'd be eternally grateful to any and all of you who might be interested in following me.
What I'm battling with right this second is, do I still start a thread on here about something I could share on my blog? I'm new to blogging and I don't know exactly how it works, but I do know the more people that read my posting the better for me. I wouldn't want to take anything away from this site which I love and I'll obviously still be posting here, however if I can reach a greater audience and potentially could gain from it and improve my life, I'm hesitant to start something on here. Just now I wanted to share my whole Thailand experience, but now I am balking. Would it be complete douchebaggery for me to only start threads on there as opposed to the open forum in our forum?
Regardless of what I end up doing, I'll never stop posting on this site. I will always be here, however if what I'm trying to do improves my chances of getting out of a tractor trailer, I have to direct as much energy as possible in that direction. If anyone is interested following me or seeing what I write, I'm at fabiodriven@wordpress.com. At the time of this posting I have written only one post.
Thank you to any and all of you who might be interested and thank you for reading!
