A few weeks ago I got the idea of starting a blog with a friend of mine. I was reading this popular one started by a friend of a friend. He writes and illustrates. As I was reading it I couldn’t help but think I could do something similar, except that I can’t draw for shit. A friend of mine is good at drawing so I’m going to see if he wants to work on it together. I could come up with the writing (with his input) and he could do all the illustrations. I’m going to talk to him about this more before I leave Mpls. He’s definitely the funniest person I know and I’d love to collaborate on something with him. If we had each other to keep each other motivated and accountable it could work out really well. Plus he’s great for bouncing ideas off of because we can play off each other really well.

I had an idea in my head about what I wanted to write about and tried doing that for a little while earlier tonight. It felt really forced to me so I abandoned it altogether. I think I’ll give it another try tomorrow during the day sometime. I’d like to have something concrete down when I see my friend again so I can explain the idea and then we can talk about what I have so far and how it could be illustrated. I’ve got a few ideas that could work well for one blog post or could possibly be broken up into more than one. I should really be creating an outline for them so as to give them more direction and structure. It would probably help while writing them if I wasn’t just winging it. So tomorrow I’ll sketch out a couple outlines and see if that helps with the writing. I pretty much know what I want to say, I just want it to flow well and feel disjointed or like the humor is being forced. I’m good at doing that in person and it went well in my stand up comedy routine so I know I can do it. The format is just a little different. That’s going to be my goal for tomorrow. It’s good to have goals.
