Well, this is new. I've never blogged about anything. It might be a waste of time because I doubt anyone will read it...I'll read it. I guess that's what really counts. My bishop told me to get a hobby and so here I am, and perhaps this will be a great source of stress relief to me. Painting, writing, reading...and dogs. Those are my favorite things! And of course, my friends. But there are some things painting, writing, reading, and dogs can do for you that friends cant. Try one of them, and you'll see what I mean.
Anywho, I think what I want to do with this here blog is put my writing on it. Whoever reads it, I ask that you tell me what you think. What do you like? What do you not like? What was good and what can I do better? Is it a good idea or a flop? Stuff like that. I kind of don't like sharing. It makes me feel...pretentious. But how else will I improve if I never show anyone what I write? Some of it is kinda weird, I think. There are two things I'm working on that...well I have no idea where they came from. The things I think about on a daily basis and the things that come out in my writing are, at times, completely opposite.
So. I'll post every time I get something finished (or at least finished enough to share). Judge my writing, not me, and please enjoy.
Just as the trumpeter cannot refine his playing if he does not play, so too is a writer unable to refine her writing if she does not write it. And just as a teacher cannot direct a silent trumpeter, so is an audience unable to direct a story which is not told.
ReplyDeleteJessi, I am currently waiting for michael to get out of class so that we can eat lunch together, so, naturally, I get on facebook and I stumble upon your mom's post and read your blog. I just read all of your posts and I love them! You are such an amazing writer, which shouldn't be a surprise since you are so creative and intelligent. As soon as I get back to my computer I will be following your blog. Love you!
