I’m sure I’m not alone in this. Sure, there’s excitement that comes with making a brand new blog, the hopes and wishes you have for future posts that catch the attention of scores of people on the internet, the fun of making your actual blog page reflect the real you (or the ‘you’ you’re trying to present to the cyberworld, that is). But then you get to the hard part – the writing part.
It’s sometimes easy to forget with all of the fun prep time that comes with making a blog that you actually have to write stuff once all is said and done.
I’ve done this so many times. I’ve started something new, done an introduction post, then either whizzed off into the waiting horizon with sporadic posts left in my wake or I’ve never written another post ever again. No one gets to know me or my writing beyond what I choose to tell them in that very first post. I guess I feel like maybe first posts are cursed for me that way. They can make or break the blog itself. They can determine whether I’ll bother coming back to make a second, third, or more post.
I don’t want this to be another bad luck post.
So I’m just going to keep this short and simple before forcing myself to move along to writing another post that I can actually queue up to post regularly, rather than letting this blog sit around collecting dust immediately after I publish this.
All you really need to know about me is that I’m a 20-something avid reader who also occasionally writes. I’m hoping to actually utilize a blog for once as a way to document my recent dive back into reading for fun, and the inspiration it’s been giving me to start spending some time on my own writing again. I apologize in advance for any future posts centered on young adult novels, my cat, and any degree of fangirling, as I can guarantee that if I actually stick with this blog, there will be a lot of that going on here.
