The Sunday Driver: A Writing Blog


Why the name "Sunday Driver"? Well, to be honest, I looked up the word "amateur" on
thesaurus.com, and that was one of the synonyms. After further investigation, I've found that Sunday driver generally means "one who drives slowly, as for leisure or sight-seeing."

Or, my favorite definition from urbandictionary.com: "Someone who is driving extremely slow because they are stoned." Let's put this in a sentence: "dude, this sunday driver must have been smokin' some dank bud, 'cuz he's going 10 in a 55 mph zone."

But I digress. Sunday driver may not be completely pertinent, but it does sound cool. Plus, if you want to link the term to this writing blog, look at it at this way:

I am going to take "Sunday driver" approach to life (minus the getting stoned), so that I can record what I see. Isn't that part of being a good writer? Taking the time to really look at things...to drive slow enough to notice the details? To truly take in the deliciousness of life? I think so.

So here goes nothin'.

My goal is to write ten minutes a day, maybe with the help of a daily prompt that I get from a website, or perhaps it'll just be a free-write. Who knows. Depends on my mood.

Feel free to comment. In fact, please do. The reason why I am doing this publicly is so that I can get feedback from people, and to push myself to pursue writing.

Thanks for reading. Sunday out.
