Ta Da!

I felt the first blog could do with some pizzazz, hence the title.

Because lets face it, the first blog is always going to be a little boring. The introductions round.

I'm writing this blog for no one but myself. If you want to read it, wicked, if you want to comment, better, but unlike some blogs I've had in the past (or my friends have had, which I've read) I'm not writing for some sort of validation of my ego.

And since this is the case, I guess that makes the point of this entry seem redundant. It's not, it's a reminder to me, more than anything.

Because of this ... detachment, for lack of a better word, I won't be putting loads of personal things in this blog. Anyone I mention, will have an alias. This is my pitiful attempt that, should anyone I work with read, I will have some cover ("Of course I wasn't badmouthing Anna online, when did I mention her?") but I'm generally not that type of person. It's like good credit, or karma.

Mostly, I want to use this blog to agonise over thoughts, day-to-day life, and my occasional fits of writing epiphanies. I might go weeks without writing and then do 5-page-in-word blogs. Words of warning. I also tend to overuse the word 'I', if it hadn't already escaped your attention. Risk of voicing an opinion, I guess, you just sound ego-centric. I also tend towards pointless rages or fits of absolute adoration of people/objects. Whatever feelings I put down on paper are normally fleeting, a way of me working out my issues. I won't hate 'Anna' tomorrow. I got over it.

When I said writing epiphanies by the way, I was referring to the fact that I am something of an amateur writer. I'd love to be a professional, but I'm still working up the courage. And writing a letter trying to sell yourself and your work is a lot harder than straight out writing. A lot harder for me, anyway. In the mean time, I'll read and critique others writing. At length.

So that's the boring stuff out of the way. Bring on the next blog I feel inspired to put on here!
