Ten Reasons

Time to write!

Come up with ten reasons you should never record your life story.

1. Hi. Embarrassing?
2. I would never be able to finish it. But maybe that's a good thing.
3. Not everyone WANTS to know all the things that have happened
4. I don't remember everything that's ever happened to me.
5. It might put the people I love in danger...because I'm Batman
6. Then I'd have to write about people I'd rather forget  - although those people formed the experiences that let me do some of my best writing
7. Because if I'm always writing about my own life I won't be able to write about the lives of all the people who live in my head and want to get out.
8. Fantasy story lines are much more entertaining
9. I did really dumb stuff when I was little. And when I was in Jr. High. And high school... and now... So I guess this is basically the same as #1, but I'm leaving it.
10. I'd tell you....but then I'd have to kill you.

Nothing like the cliche of all cliches to end a really lame blog entry. In my defense I started and finished not one, not two, but three essays this very evening.
