That's a great question.
I'm glad you asked. Ages ago a good friend of mine told me I needed to start writing. Another friend said I should start a blog. Most of my English professors both require and suggest this practice. It made sense. There are unpublished copies of children's books my 7-year-old self has written that are laying around in a dusty bookshelf somewhere. Even still, I wasn't sure. The world does not need another blogger. I'm not even that great of a writer. What earthly reason would anyone care about what I have to say? What if people I know read it and think it's dumb? The list goes on. Ultimately, I decided to go for it. Mostly, because it's what I love to do. I love the art of stringing words together and the idea of it resonating with someone. I love connecting to people. I love to use my voice and be a single instrument amongst many that create something melodic. So I'm doing it. I'm not entirely sure what all this will entail. I don't always know what to write about. Most of the time I don't know what I'm doing. As another good friend (and fellow blogger) said, I'm just going with it. My one hope is to provide a place of encouragement, honesty, and somewhere you can kick off your shoes and relax for just a moment. Here's to starting.
