It’s possible that I am, in fact, terrified of blogging. The concept sounds great. I write witty and intelligent sentences; people I know and don’t know think I’m witty and intelligent. The problem is that whole witty and intelligent bit. It’s a lot of pressure! I hope someday I finally feel like I’ve found my voice–I imagine it’s a nice feeling. There are so many things I want to say, but sometimes I feel this is the wrong arena, or perhaps that my thoughts aren’t witty, intelligent, or even original, so I keep quiet.
Oh, the burden of having interesting friends. I can’t promise to be interesting, but I can promise to always use my own voice, whatever it might be.
Well, first of all, I would say don’t worry about trying to be witty, or even intelligent, necessarily. It sounds trite, but the way to find your voice is to just write a lot. Your friends will read it (provided you make them aware of your new blog) and appreciate it.
Thanks for the encouragement! 🙂
By the way, it’s up to you, but I would mind seeing the “Possibly related posts” go away. I come to read your content, not auto-generated junk from others’ blogs 🙂
Well, I’m finding you witty and intelligent! And glad you found me at jubileeyear!
