| | According to this, I haven't blogged in over a year. I've tried to keep a blog here and there since high school, but for one reason or another it hasn't worked out. There are only one or two blogs at most that I read fairly regularly, one long-term and one a recent subscription. I guess part of my wariness about blogging is that I know myself. I know that, especially where the internet is concerned, I get addicted very easily, and while away the hours while much more important tasks remain to be done. And I do count socializing with real people a "much more important task."
But here's the rub: I have always wanted to be a writer. And everyone, from Harriet the Spy to Ray Bradbury, says that if you want to write, then you have to write. And I'm on summer break and actually have some free time, so why not?
So this blog is an experiment. I'm not even too sure how much I want to tell other people about this yet (though of course I will, I suppose, eventually). Who care what I think, anyway? I feel that, for now, this is more for me than for anyone else (didn't Freud say that all creative writers are inescapably egotistical? I feel like a lot of thinkers-slash-writers have said something along those lines), and if it works out, then I'll keep going. Maybe eventually even move up to a really decent blog site like Blogger.com or Wordpress.com. Maybe. One thing I should note in particular is that this summer I am preparing to serve a mission, and I'm hoping to leave in the fall. If things work out, then maybe I will be able to keep up some kind of mission blog, by e-mailing a weekly letter to my parents to post for everyone. That would be cool. But we'll see. For now, this is a new start.
I have no idea what I'm doing.
