into the wild blue yonder.

ok, so i have something completely tragic to admit.

i am a reader of fan fiction.

i don't admit this to many people in person--actually, i've only admitted it to one individual thus far. however, i truly enjoy reading it.

i've tried writing it...but it turns out that i am not a writer of the fan fiction. simply an avid consumer.

now, while i may not be a very good writer of fan fiction as it applies to television and books, i am a fan or writing just plain old fiction. in fact, as i have mentioned before, this is a dream i've had for a long time: to write fiction.

as i continue to explore the world of fan fiction, i'm more and more drawn to these short stand-alone pieces that are often referred to as "DRABBLES."

according to fan fiction lingo, a drabble is traditionally a work 100 words or less, but any short piece can be considered one.

i think i'm drawn to these brief pieces because i have such commitment phobia when it comes to anything and everything i ever set out to do.

so i've decided to write fiction drabbles. maybe someday i'll write a piece of fan fiction. who knows? but until then, i'll write whatever comes to mind.

we'll see how this plays out.
