First Column

Everyone is asking me about ‘my first column.’It all started innocently enough.A polite inquiry here and there, lots of enthusiastic supporters emailing me, and then, the phone started ringing.What would I do without call display?They will defend themselves, saying that they are true and loyal friends out to support my latest project.All I know is that I see it as pressure, the kind that makes you sweat no matter what type of deodorant you are wearing.What are all of my supporters waiting for anyway?Do they think that I have seen a brighter light and am about to share it with them?If so, they will be severely disappointed.This leads me to the inevitable question, ‘what WILL my first column be about?’

I could write about a lot of things, and one day I will.This is one of the perks about having your own column, you get to write about lots of stuff all the time.But this opens up a whole other can of worms or should I say, words!What I write about and when I write about it could play a crucial role in my development as a writer.Timing is often everything, or so they say.Or is that something actors say?
