Well, I suppose I should welcome you to my blog.
There's two reasons that I made this blog, well more like three: One, I believe everyone should have a blog once in their lifetime. Whether it may last a day or years on end. Two, my friend made a blog and I thought it'd be a cool idea. Three, I want to share my writing with the world and I thought this would be the best place to do so.
Now, in a sense I may be talking to no one. That's always a struggle with blogs. There might be that blog that never enjoys page views. Eventually if you stick it out, you may reach that goal of a hundred page views a day, but that's not what matters to me. Seeing that one measly page view across the stats, just that one click someone made, will make me happy. It doesn't matter how many page views you get, in my opinion, it's the fact that someone visited your blog. Sure, it might have only been a second, but now, at least someone knows you exist. That's what blogging is truly all about.
Lately, I haven't been writing like I used to. I blame it on school, but deep down, I know it's not true. I had plenty of time to write in November for NaNoWriMo (see nanowrimo.org for more information). It's my desire to write, the motivation I need to continue with my writing. I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe this blog will help me through this. I love to write, I've been told what I write is interesting; I have time, but not the motivation. With this said, I'm finally admitting this to myself.
Earlier today, I heard of 60K/60 Days, a challenge in which you write 60,000 words in sixty days. When you think about it, it's not all that bad. With NaNoWriMo you wrote 50,000 words in 30 days, a task that's much harder to come by. I'm hoping this will give me the motivation to write. I'm hoping that I'll be able to finish my current novel that I started in November and I'd like to work on my Harry Potter FanFiction. I'm joining in on the challenge with my friend. If you're reading this, you're not alone.
Now, before I bore you to death, I should probably bring this to a close. If you've made it this far through my post, thank you. You're more than welcome to follow me. I hope to see you in the writing community soon and Happy New Year!
