I was recently asked the following:
“Why on earth does a married woman feel such a need to reveal herself to total strangers?”
Good question. It really is a complicated one though, if you look at it closely. Therefore, I’m going to rephrase the question so I can give the simplest answer.
“Why does a person feel such a need to reveal herself/himself?”
This blog actually serves a specific purpose for me.
I want to be a writer. Well, I’m writing so I suppose I am a writer. More specifically, I want to get paid to write. I finally came to the realization that:
1. If I want to be a writer I should write.
2. If I want to be a good writer I should write often and about many things.
3. If I want to be a great writer I should probably let people read what I write and see if anyone comes back for more or tells their friends about it.
4. If I want this whole writer thing to work out I should probably do all of the above and get some guidance from someone in the industry.
So I’m enrolling in a writing course where I am assigned a mentor and I’m throwing out my scribbles for the whole world to see.
I don’t mean to be revealing myself and I don’t think I am. It is, however, impossible to intentionally write down words and not have parts of yourself shine through them.
So this isn’t a journal of thoughts, or of what I ate today and wut r u doing brb lol nt rlly nonsense. It’s a tool for me where the English language will be used to the best of my ability, vowels included, for the purpose of fine tuning and testing of my writing skills.
And you are all my guinea pigs!! BWA HA HA HA HA!
