About Ream
Ream of Paper is a blog for humans, not google-bots. I don’t give a damn about SEO at RoP; I save that for my other projects. This here is narrative; poetry for the deaf and illiterate.
Story.
Sometimes advice.
Occasional motivation.
Fiction from time to time.
I also write for other writers, because I love them.
When I discover something I deem gnarly, I write about it and post it on Ream of Paper, because I believe you deserve gnarly things to read.
I am given to fits of transcendence that I cannot quite describe. I try anyway.
Sometimes I rant. Good for traffic spikes, bad for long-term friendship.
One time I raved, and I did not like it.
I am working on the 19th draft of my first novel. It will be a huge hit, probably bringing Oprah out of her then-retirement. (Seriously, I work on it everyday. Not seriously – about the Oprah-thing, or about it being a huge hit.)
I write, as writers should, for myself. I try to clean up my personal drivel, writing a second-draft for humans not named Ryan Lind. You might say that I am on a mission to save the internet from becoming a repository of mere facts.
And yes, I do think narrative blogging is an especially narcissistic past-time. All forms of writing are, but you go with what ya got, right?
I just learned that it is okay to stop being one thing and to start being another. Usually, in fact, one has to cease to be one thing in order to become another! Thankfully I have a friend who is a therapist. (Thanks, Clint.)
You can hire me to help tell your story here. And you probably should, because the rates are going up. (This will be a link by July 10th, 2010, as I am putting together service packages and my stunning portfolio. )
