As of late, I have been using the blog as a sounding board, for the most part. The intent of my blogging is really to network and record my progress as a writer. Although I will have times in which I will revert to the sounding board business, I really think it is important that I focus on organizing my thoughts and my intentions as a writer. I am making it a point to start and look for more writing contests, and other places I can try and get some work published. I will also be looking into internships, as I would love to gain entry into the field view a publishing office, editor's office, etc.
I feel that writing truly is my path, as it is a familiar road. I have so many works that I completed during my teenage years, and I plan to get them together, and, hopefully, have them published in a type of personal ethnography. I the meantime, I would also like to figure out a project for this summer. I am unsure of what I want to write about. I have toyed with the idea of writing a series of personal essays, relating to a similar theme. I am also considering, starting today, to really record everything up until the wedding, which is exactly three months from today. I have a journal that I physically write in, and feel very comfortable writing my feelings in that. I begged and begged for a laptop, and still, I find myself with a pen in my hand, a cramp in between my thumb and index finger, writing away, old-school style. I feel I can be the most open and honest when I am actually writing, and not relying on a laptop or other keyboard to get my point across.
I hope that I meet some people along the way who can advise and inspire me. Today, I will attempt to truly begin my journey.
