a short look at the life of a crooked square. |
|
| Name: | Crooked Square | |
| Bio: | 1. Write every day. 2. If you think you're a good writer, write twice a day. 3. Dont be afraid to do anything. In fact if you're afraid of something, do it. Then do it again. And again. 4. Cuss like a sailor. 5. Don't tell your mom, your work, your friends, the people you want to date, or the people you want to work for about your blog. If they find out and you'd rather they didn't read it, ask them nicely to grant you your privacy. 6. Have comments. Don't be upset if no one writes in your comments for a long time. Eventually they'll write in there. If people start acting mean in your comments, ask them to stop. They probably will. 7. Say exactly what you want to say no matter what it looks like on the screen. Then say something else. Then keep going. And when you're done, re-read it, and edit it and hit publish and forget about it. 8. If you haven't written about sex, religion, and politics in a week you're probably playing it too safe, which means you probably fucked up on #5, in which case start a second blog and keep your big mouth shut about it this time. 9. Don't be afraid if you think something has been said before. It has. And better. Big whoop. Say it anyway using your own words as honestly as you can. Just let it out. 10. Push the envelope in what you're writing about and how you're saying it. Be more and more honest. Get to the root of things. Start at the root of things and get deeper. Dig. Think out loud. Keep typing. Keep going. Eventually you'll find a little treasure chest. Every time you blog this can happen if you let it. 11. Change your style. Mimic people. Write beautiful lies. Dream in public. Kiss and tell. Finger and tell. Cry scream fight sing fuck and don't be afraid to be funny. The easiest thing to do is whine when you write. Don't be lazy. 12. Write open letters. Make lists. Call people out on their bullshit. Lead by example. Invent and reinvent yourself. Start by writing about what happened to you today. 13. When in doubt, review something. There's not enough reviews on blogs. Review a movie you just saw, a tv show, a cd, a kiss you just got, a restaurant, a hike you just took, anything. 14. Constantly write about the town that you live in. 15. Out yourself. Tell your secrets. You can always delete them later. 16. Don't use your real name. Make it as personal as you want it to be. If somebody is on your friends list, and you don't want them to read personal stuff, go ahead and take them off. Your blog is not about them, it's about you. Let them deal with it. 17. Don't be afraid to come across as an asswipe. Own your asswipeness. 18. Tell us about your friends. 19. Don't apologize about not blogging. Nobody cares. Just start blogging again. 20. Read tons of blogs and leave nice comments.  Crooked Square's journal is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 License. | |
