I want to be able to write. I completely lack any confidence or faith in my ability. I need to develop a style, make my writing interesting and readable.
I'm going to push myself and read 'things' I usually wouldn't, such as; challenging literature, different styles of writing, varied publications, and different contexts, etc...
I saw somewhere that simply putting pen to paper and writing anything that comes into your head is a good way to get used to the whole process, to opening up your thoughts.
Sometimes I look at what I've put down and it looks so serious, not light-hearted or humorous, which is essentially my personality. I think use it as an outlet for my serious and creative side.
When I don’t force myself to write and decide to write about something I have an opinion or am passionate about, it totally flows. This is when, dare I say it, I sometimes feel accomplished.
I guess I’d be going to University to learn, but I need to push myself a hell of a lot more. I'm hoping to do some reviews for a local free magazine. I'm trying to use this blog, as well, just to write about whatever's going on in my life, my views on certain subjects and issues. Maybe this'll help.
We'll see.
