I call myself a writer but have never created a blog in the past? Who does that? Obviously someone with a Creative Writing degree, without guidance, and simply too afraid of exposing their blood, sweat, pleasures, and tears for the public to see. I was convinced these spaces of outlet were for people that always have something to nag about, people who sit in coffee shops and drink overly priced beverages while they waste time writing things no one will ever read. I thought it was pointless and lonesome. Truth is, I have come to realize that one cannot be great at something without practicing something they enjoy. I once read an article how reading/writing is like building a couch. Just because you've sat on many, doesn't mean you can construct one correctly.
Luckily, I like to try almost everything at least once. So why not start a blog? Friends and family have constantly asked me, "If you like to write, why don't you start a blog?" My answers were always passive or negative. But I think it's time to take action and see where it can take me. Besides, it wouldn't hurt for me to tell the stories, thoughts, and feelings that I keep to myself half of the time.
