I've never had a blog, really. The post below was something I felt inspired to write as an entry to a kind of contest and I needed somewhere to put it. I actually have been blogging, though. Not a whole lot, just when I get an idea I feel I should type up, which occurs, like, once a month. But I use a private blog. It's called 750words.com. It's awesome; I highly recommend it.
I blogged on 750words instead of on a real blog because I live a life of fear. How dumb. As if I need to be ashamed of myself. So this is where I slap myself and say, "Snap out of it, sad-sack!" Every time I write something on 750words, I actually get proud of myself. Proud enough to want to show someone what I've written. Buuuuuut then I inevitably find some excuse not to publish it anywhere because I am honestly afraid of what people will think of me.
What I'm really afraid of is that people who scoff at the notion that I deem myself worth listening to. Well, I'm tired of feeling that way. It's incredible limiting. And it's getting cramped in this box I made for myself. So, ok, if you're reading this and you think I'm full of myself, please stop reading immediately and go back to watching stupid cat videos on YouTube.
I'm going to post what I've written over these past few months on 750words. I guess that means some of them will be outdated. That's ok. I'll post them with their original dates. Problem solved. Blog begun.
