A Writer's Blog

What's kicking, punk dogs? I'm doing awesome!

It's going to be my first time blogging, and I'm nervicited (kudos if you pick up on the reference). I decided to try this out only because I am currently working on a trilogy, and my mind needed a break from all the outlining. I still wanted to improve my writing skills, so I decided 'why not start a blog?'.  But my slow mind suddenly realized, 'what would it be about?'. So, after I gave it some thought, I finally concluded, 'why don't I just write about the stupid things I'm always rambling about? Writing. People seem to tune out when I talk about it, anyway.'

You see, growing up, I loved writing stories and, eventually, I decided to pursue writing and learn the most I can on my own. The more I learned, the more I got interested. Eventually, I got to talking to people about writing. I talked to teachers, family, friends, strangers; just about anyone I ran into.

Don't get me wrong, a lot of people did provide support and encouraged me to continue learning (Thank you, teachers and mom). The majority of these people, however, never really found interest in what I had to say. And I don't blame them. All I ever talked about was character development, plot situations, sentence structure and other seemingly boring things for normal people. Also, when it comes to talking, I can't shut my mouth.

I figured a lot of writers must feel the same way (not the can't-shut-mouth thing, the feeling-left-out-on-conversations-because-no-one-can-relate thing). Thus, I decided I would write  a blog on random thoughts and experiences I have encountered in writing.

Except, I don't just want to ramble on about what I have to say. I'm hoping these posts will inspire other writers, both developed and developing, to post their thoughts on the posted subjects. I want these posts to encourage those who are just starting out in writing. I want these posts to relate to developing writers. I want a blog that can teach me about writing as well as teach others.

I hope you all will enjoy what's to come. I look forward to these irrelevant conversations that plague the mind of a writer. Thank you and safe travels to you all.
