take off point-lit.

writing doesn't have to be about high sounding words, extraordinary experiences or about the shockingly mundane. undoubtedly, the relative freedom afforded by the net in circumventing linguistic strictures helps self-expression. the fear of writing for the first time doesn't evaporate all so soon, though. (i'm off at a tangent) nabovkov's gaia seems so real now with the sighting of the new planet that's supposed to resemble our earth. that's a bit of verbal doodling - sometimes irresistible. i need to get my teeth into blogging. i know i sound self-conscious, if not stiltedly formal. but if anyone's reading this, i promise to discuss substantial stuff soon. proust or rashid, for example.
