Well Hello There...

So, I am finally on here. It took me two whole days before I got this thing up and running. In fact, it only took me a few minutes to set everything up. Well, around ten is more like it, but that's only because I worry too much about what my title should be and whatnot.

Also I am way to obsessed with my writing. I mean, one shouldn't worry that their sentences aren't good enough in a blog right? 

But moving on. I spent the majority of those two days hemming and hawing over the intricacies of a theme. My first gut reaction was to do the usual "hi, this is me, this is what I like...blah blah blah." Then I thought, well I do own a crazy cat. I could write about her! 

Wait, that would mean I'd become a cat lady. Two words that are synonymous with knitting and hoarders. So that's a no on that idea. I was told to write about relationships, books, pop culture, make interesting lists, and it went on and on. It was the topic on the lips of everyone I talked to. Which really wasn't that much. I digress. 

Finally it hit me. What the heck do I need a theme for? I'm not going to just half-heartedly work on this thing just because I chose to write about something that couldn't keep my interest. So I guess if I have to have a theme of some sort, it will be whatever deigns to pop through my head. I don't want to sound dramatic, but I hate labels. It just feels like I'm trying to label this blog when choosing a theme. Of course I'm probably crazy for worrying over it this much, but I am an English Major. I will always use that as my excuse!

So we'll see what happens, and what ends up on here.

  1. Nice :) You can always use the excuse of "I am an English Major." I've used it many times in the course of my life. This is a good first blog because it does set up the tone and gives some insight into the content. Good!

  4. Since I became interested in being a writer I have become obsessed with small details,hence my enrollment at PNC to improve my skills. I even delete FB posts that I have made an error on. I guess it goes with the territory.And I don't even have a major declared yet.

  5. Yeah, I always use spell check and read my posts out loud before I submit them. Just because you sometimes don't realize how bad a sentence sounds until you say it!
