The art of starting a blog

There are many reasons that one might start a blog. One might be that they wanted to because why the heck not. Another might be that they felt adventurous and wanted to try something new. Another still might be that someone told them they were good with words and they should do. Me? I was all three.

(In regards to that last reason...you have no idea what you've started, Rebekah.)

Now then...I suppose there's a trick to starting a blog. Something interesting and eye-catching to reel in the followers...oh, and there's also that thing where you have to keep posting a lot to make sure people don't lose interest. Hm. Let's see how I do with that one - procrastination queen right here.

There's also the issue of having interesting-enough things to talk about. Then again, that really shouldn't be too much of a problem, since I'm one of those lasses that has an opinion on literally everything and when I feel strongly about something, I will let the world know, probably on a Facebook status. Too bad since most of them are bound to get lost in Zuckerberg's big blue void. This is a MUCH better outlet.

What's that? I should say what I do? What, you mean other than sit at my computer and browse the internet?

I kid, I kid! Outside of the World Wide Web, I'm a British college student on the tail end of my A2s, and I'm taking English Language, English Literature and Drama. I recently applied to study Theatre and Performance at university, so give it a few months and you might call me a student blogger. I consider myself an aspiring writer, although in the past I've dabbled in acting and music, as well as comic art at one point (I think I'll let that one stay a hobby). Blogging is apparently a nice exercise for a writer, so I thought I'd give it a shot. And all I can say is I hope you enjoy my incessant ramblings, eh?

Here's to the beginning of an era!
