Why I avoided blogging
I avoided bogging for a while after my first post. This is because I did not have clear goals as to what I wanted this blog to be. It’s because I did not know what I was looking for from the experience. I did not know who I wanted my readers to be. And to come up with Content, I needed to know what it was I wanted to say. It’s not enough to want to write. A person must have something to write.
But, I have fixed that problem. I want a place where I can tell the story of my struggling to become a writer. It’s not that I expect any one to want to read it, but I have a need to share it, to show it and to tell it to the world.
I need a place to express my deepest fears about my writing and my highest hopes. It is here that I am going to express that. My friends are tired of hearing me rant and rave. I hope that there is something refreshing about sharing my hopes and dreams with the world. I hope that it makes being published less of a shock to my system and allows me to cope with it far better.
This is where i am going to test my skills and look for my voice. This is where I will try my hand at writing non-fiction, where I will post my progress, the ups and downs of it. The new jobs, the effort to susoprt my self via a job while I hone my craft.
Thank You to all who read, thank You for You’re time.

“It’s not enough to want to write. A person must have something to write.”
I would say that it’s not enough to write. A person must show up to write, without fail, even if all that comes forth is sludge.
There are many writers out and about on WordPress. I for one am happy that you have begun your journey.

I say go for it. Write whatever you feel like in whatever context you can. The most liberating part about writing is being able to express yourself in any way you so desire. I look forward to reading what you have to post. Feel free to bounce ideas if you get stuck or need a new perspective.
By the way, thanks for the comment. I put up a curtain to my room (because there isn’t a door), and that seems to do a decent job. The music isn’t a half bad idea, except I need to muster up the motivation to actually bring in my cds from the car. ha.

I think you should write about anything and everything.
Any situation can be written about; it just takes a minute to find the voice through which you’d like the narrative to be expressed.
Good luck!

writing about anything and everything would give this blog a lack of focious, and lead to a lack of content becouse it’s not possible to write about everything.

If the focus is writing, then write.
