Factory Rat

Life of a Factory Rat

First Entry

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Factory Rat
because I choose to be anonymous. I am a 38-year old from
the Northeastern United States. Yes, I work in a factory
because it pays the bills and keeps me on the Internet. I
don't think my life is anything special, but maybe by
writing some of it down, I just may get a sense of where it
is going.

In future entries, I will be filling in some of the details
about my life and what I am feeling on that particular
day. Right now I have a cold and my head is stuffed up. I
am tired and I should be heading off to bed. I'll go soon
enough.

I feel a little tentative as I write this initial entry.
It's funny because I have always had a desire to write, but
never really wrote anything that made too much sense.
Someday, I want to make writing a hobby and maybe even a
part-time job if I ever get good enough at it. Sometimes I have a
problem with keeping the keys (or pencil) going. Some days I can
write a lot, while other days I can barely put together a cohesive
paragraph.

In time, though, I think my writing will improve.
Sometimes I just don't know where to begin. A painting,
whether it be a masterpiece or child's fingerpainting
begins with a single brush or finger stroke. So here's my
first brushstroke, the first mark on a pristine sheet of
paper.
