Struggles
It's been almost 2 months since I started this blog. Excitement, ideas on what this blog will be about, on what I'll write and of course how often.
As it is, initially It went as I imagined. I've picked a theme of my blog, stories. I was, and still am, fascinated how everyday situations can be said in moving way. How can ones walk to the shop can be so entertaining and others lifetime adventure is said in two sentences and still be yawn inducing. Believing that every skill can be learned, I've decided to learn it. First thing I did, was to read Storyworthy from Mathew Dicks. He did a great introduction to storytelling, for complete beginners and wrote what makes a story story.
I wrote down stories from my life. I'm still proud that I actually wrote them down and published them. But then work and life responsibilities took over and sitting down to write anything down became harder. Once I found some time to sit down my self imposed theme for a blog became another obstacle in a way to writing post. Each day I skipped and didn't write anything added weight and friction for another opportunity. Within a span of a month something I wanted to do transformed into something I shelved as it was just to hard to do. I even didn't want to read other peoples blogs, it was too uncomfortable for me - others could write something and I could not.
Some time had to pass for it hit me. I had in mind my 'perfect' blog, with 'perfect' theme and 'perfect' posts but that's not what it is meant to be. So what it is meant to be? A blog. Collection of anything I want to share. A bunch of posts I enjoyed writing just for sake of it. Loose thoughts. A 'perfect' definition doesn't matter. Write now, categorize later. Will it be messy, scattered in topics and chaotic? Yeah, I guess. Ain't it how it's supposed to be?
