So, in the past few days, I've long considered the idea of starting up my own blog. Three things in particular made this venture one that I was unsure of:
- Time. As I'm preparing to start college full time, the hours that I can spend putting my thoughts into blog form becomes more and more limited, which made me wonder if it was worth it to even start.
- Inspiration. I tend to have lapses where I have no idea what to write about. Worse, I sometimes end up with lapses of knowing what to write about but having no idea how to express it on paper.
- Tacos. Honestly, I only had two, but the best things come in threes and I'm hungry.
I spent a couple of days weighing the pros and cons, and decided to go ahead and give this a shot. So let's get this started the right way and make some stated goals for this blog.
- To keep weekly updates of my life that should not just be relegated to 140 character updates on Facebook.
- A place to store inspiration in a public place where people can offer advice on how to make my thoughts appear in the appropriate medium.
- A place for me to try (and likely fail) to be silly on occasion where I just need to write for the sake of writing.
- NOT and NEVER a place for me to spend two or three pages worth of writing material whining about any particular thing. While yes, I will update you on my life, I have no desire to use this space to pine on things that make me terribly sad. Ideally this will mean that if something is wrong, it will be a paragraph of "this is what happened, it sucks but I'll deal" and then we move on to other things.
So that's what we have mostly for today. I'll try to update this thing on Sundays, since it's essentially my lazy day, but I cannot promise consistency, so if you start getting frustrated, I ask only that you remember that I am doing this mostly for my own sake.
