That's what I want to be. Yes, I want to be addicted to blogging. I am that lame. But apparently it's not lame at all! I was looking at some sites today and realized there are a lot of bloggers out there! It is more than just a past-time, or a hobby, it is a lifestyle! Bloggers are cool, and always have witty things to say. Bloggers notice small, mundane parts of their day and are able to turn it into a hysterical, meaningful well-rounded story that entertains people they have never even met! I want that!!
So what stands in my way? Well, my lack of ability to write for one. I have decent grammar, but I am certainly no author. Next is my terrible sense of humor, I stink at thinking of clever things to say. I spend hours sometimes debating on my facebook status, and usually just go with a bible verse or song lyrics because I fail to think of anything. But I think the biggest thing that stands in my way is my lack of confidence in myself (so proven by this entire paragraph). I write things and think "That sounds dumb." when, in actuality, it probably sounds fine.
So, my 4th thing has been changed. Don't worry, I still plan to do the big thing I have been talking about all month, but that will have to be 5th. My 4th thing is a challenge to myself. I am not going to delete anything I post! Backspace and delete no longer exist to me (unless its spelling or grammar of course). I refuse to censor myself any longer.
This may not seem like much of a challenge, but my entire life I have been someone here, and someone else there, and someone entirely different over here. There are very few people I have ever been completely myself around, and even then it was sporadically. So, here we go! Wish me luck! I am challenging myself to be a blog-a-holic!
I don't even know if I had any words in the first few blog posts I made. Kidding! There were a few words. You get better with time:-) I sure an thankful for all the Writer's Workshop stuff I learned when I taught at LMS!
