Here goes...?
This is my second attempt at creating a blog. I tried to make one last summer, but it remained empty and unused for a few weeks like a blank canvas awaiting the first brush stroke of the artist. Not that I consider my writing on the same level as an artist, but I was neither inspired to write, nor did I think anyone would be interested in reading a thing I had to say. It wasn't long before I deleted that blog.
This time may not be any different, however, I do have a plan. Since I am majoring in Creative Writing, I have found that having a place to write out vignettes or random stories and memories has helped trigger ideas for the creative non-fiction pieces I need to write for class. I also noticed that it was helpful for me to get feedback on the Facebook notes I had written, which I later used to refine and expand certain pieces for a final draft. We are encouraged in our classes to write whenever anything comes to mind and to also find people to read our ideas. So, the purpose of this "blog" is two-fold. I will write random stories, all true unless otherwise noted, and hopefully people will read them for their own enjoyment or to give ideas and comments. This is not an egotistical move on my part, for I certainly do not always consider my writing worth the time it takes to read it, but here goes...
