"I'm Not A Writer, I'm A Biter"
When I first told someone very close to me that I just made a blog, they simply responded: "You're not a writer." Though these words lacked any kind of support or encouragement in the news that I just gave her, they were exactly what sparked the fire that gave me the idea I needed to write my inaugural post. I have to admit, I would never consider writing my strong suite, and I doubt I would have gotten an urge to start a blog with out some outside influences. Hence the second part of the title explained. Shout out to the following blogs: The Wacko Monologues, lolitzdo.com, Eff Everything, & Gerald's Ink Blot.
As to my writing credentials.. I have gone to school for all my life and been forced to write countless seemingly pointless essays, poems, and research papers. Back in high school I actually wrote for my school's news paper, The Buzz, and even had my own advice column. But now my public writing hiatus has ended so I guess I'M BACK like T.I.P. And if thats not enough certification for you.. Then you can stop reading.. HERE (sorry for wasting your time). But back to the point of this post:
What is a "writer"? And why am I not one? You can add your input but I feel like a writer is no more than a person with thoughts in their head as well as the ability and medium to express them in some written form. So I guess I haven't been a writer because I've been lacking on the ability part (or maybe confidence to pursue the ability), as well as the medium (I guess this blog serves as my medium now).. But I know that I have always had a head FULL of thoughts. In writing this I think I'm showing an ability to do so (?), or at least giving it a sad attempt. In making this page to blog on I definitely have the medium now to write freely on the things that flow through my mind, so I guess this is like orientation or my first day of class.. Dare to say I am becoming a writer?! (chilll)
But to the blog world... HELLO.. Goodmorning!
