I have flirted with the idea of starting a blog for a while. I faithfully read a couple of blogs everyday that I enjoy very much. Those same blogs I've actually gone back and read all the archives too. I love the writing style of these bloggers, they are funny, witty, inspirational and just dang fun to read. Even though I'm calling my blog Delusions of... Everything, I have NO delusions that I can write. I have a secret fantasy of being a writer, key word fantasy. I have a couple friends who get paid to write and I have a couple friends who are teachers! They will be reading this blog, I only hope they don't run away screaming. The fact is writing skills elude me. My thoughts are either choppy or they go on and on and on, or they are all over the place. This has the possibility of causing the following issues with a blog entry: It will look like a list (many times that will be on purpose) or it will have run on sentences or make the reader feel like they are in a thought tornado. These writing styles are not appealing to most readers, so I have not followed through on my flirtatious, romantic, delusional thoughts of being a blogger…Until now.
Throwing caution to the wind, because the interweb needs another blogger, I’m testing the blogging waters. Apologies ahead of time for the run on sentences, improper use of grammar, improper use of tenses and entries that make your head spin! I’m looking forward to learning and making mistakes on this new adventure.
I have many delusions ideas for this blog. Simply, as crazy as it seems, I want to write everyday and if I don't commit to something like this I won't do it. I hope to improve my skills as time goes on. Is that self indulgent?!
Okay, I'm first!
Welcome! I love your header and I can't wait to see what you have to say. I've already added you to my reading list!
Welcome!
