Voice

I once heard William Shatner say in an interview once that the internet has given everyone a voice, but not everyone has earned it.  This is certainly true.  Everyone and their mom can have a blog or website now.  And most of them are completely worthless.  Much like this blog.

Now, I've always thought that I had a voice (at least one with the written word) and that I had earned it through my own literary gifts and talents.  But I think that was just ego.  If I had a voice, why is this thing only updated a couple times a year, if that?  Part of that is the reality that no one will read anything I write here.  But no one will ever read anything here if I don't start writing.

So do I have a voice?  Do I have something to say that someone might actually want to hear?  I would like to think that I do.  But until I actually try to speak, I'll never know.

Also, there's that whole self-promotion thing that I'm terrible.  I'm no good at peddling my own wares, unlike the great Adam West.


And there's your Batman reference for the day.
