About the Blog (Not to be confused with About the Author)
Welcome to the Zen Pen!
The goal here is to create the blog as a character in itself—a sort of living manifestation of beliefs and existential ramblings. The Zen Pen will consist of diary entries Filled with Feelings (boring, I know, but I have to vent somewhere), things I wish I had known when I started my writing journey, and a little bit of my philosophy on life, which in turn fuels my philosophy on writing.
I’ll also be making every other blog post into a youtube video. You’ll get a vlog and blog post in one. If these two-in-ones don’t convince you of my inflated sense of self-importance fueled by a constant need to escape crippling depression, I don’t know what will.
With all that said, this blog which isn’t really a blog will hopefully serve as a place of solace for fellow writers who feel lost on the road to hell, which is paved with horrifying things such as “query letters” and “taking horrible writing advice from social media.”
I hope each post will leave you with more questions than answers and that you emerge more inspired than you came.
Happy writing!
