The Vault

I remember seeing Prince on the Ellen Degeneres show many years ago. I’m a big fan of his and saw him once at the MSG. Anyway, Prince was talking about how he keeps thousands of songs in his head that he has not yet gotten to writing down on paper. I am not really sure if I buy that he has quite that many, but I know that Prince is a prolific musician and probably does keep creating music in his head at a faster rate than can be worked out on paper/in a recording studio.



I’m not exactly the Purple One, but I have been carrying around a few blog topics in my head that I have been working and reworking without ever getting down to typing and posting. OK, they are not in the thousands, but maybe more like a dozen or so. But nevertheless, I feel that I should get it out onto paper and give these thoughts a real existence beyond bouncing around in my head.



Part of my inability/reluctance to continuing on my blog (other than the usual procrastination) is that I have never quite decided on the purpose of this blog. Is it for some imaginary reader (who could very well never even materialize) or is it for myself? In my mind, depending on your audience the tenor of the blog will be very different. I have now decided that the intended reader is only myself and that this will be a forum in which to record and “work out” my thoughts rather than trying to entertain/inform some hypothetical reader. Hopefully, this should free me from my long paralysis and allow me to quickly tap into MY “vault”.
