Prologue

Prologue.

I'm already weighing the importance of a good start. Already dissecting each word and sentence before putting it here forever. I came here to write about something very important to me, and yet my first task will be putting together an acceptable introduction.

I suppose I could read some books, see how other "proper" writers begin their works. But I already know what would happen. I'd analyze and try to understand the "meta" of writing, to see the most common and efficient way to do things. I'd lose myself and with it the entire reason I'm here.

Let's do this instead. Let me apologize in advance. I've only ever written as a hobby, only whatever was required for some class on some whatever assignment. I don't read nearly enough to have a genuine understanding of writing styles or powerful techniques. I don't think of being clever when I write, only trying to put thought into words.  I accept in advance that my story contains only my perspective, and that my perspective is inherently flawed since I, as a person, am flawed.  I can only write what I feel.

I'm going to miss some things (and I'll try to either revisit them later or announce I'm skipping it entirely), I'm going to simply be wrong on some things. But hey, that's the cool thing about writing. It's my canvas, I get to paint this picture the way I interpret it. I'm also going to contradict myself and I'm going to talk in circles. There will be times when I ramble and times when I don't say nearly enough.

But that's okay. This isn't for you. This, all of this, is for me. I need a place to put thought. I just can't do that with another person, so a piece of paper will have to do.
