A blog full of drafts and untaken chances
I have had no less than 5 drafts sitting on this blog waiting to be unleashed onto the world since I started it. However for one reason or another I never posted them so be prepared for a posting frenzy!
Some say that it is quality not quantity that matters and I do believe that is true. Unfortunately though I know if I don't post now I'll never pluck up the courage to! You see I write about things I like and sometimes my fingers scramble across the keys like they are now and make something a little bit messy but ultimately me. (see how long that sentence is?) I look back and I edit and I check and I change and do this and do that and....
Eventually I become so self conscious of my writing that I just never post it.
What will people think?
Will I sound foolish?
I love to write. I have friends who love to write as well. I have friends who are far superior at writing than me. This doesn't stop me writing.
My own insecurities stop me sharing it though! What I have written in italics is part of one of my failed blog posts. In hind sight it was quite ranty and to be honest rather negative. Now I am not going to sit here and say 'I am the most positive person in the world feel all my joyous vibes' but I like to think I am more of a glass half full kind of girl (with the occasional 'I wish my glass was more full' attitude).
A while ago a friend of mine said to me 'I blog about what I like and what I want to. I write because I like to and not to impress anyone'
I need to take on her attitude and just go for it!
People have told me all my life to gain a little confidence and just go for it and now I think I will with this blog. Baby steps my friends, baby steps.
Over and out!
