Well Renee, I said I would do it and here it is, my first blog. Most probably my last blog too. This is most certainly bound to be the digital successor to all my unfinished Journals.
I have been thinking about my objectives for this blog, all the things I want to get out of it. I pretty much want to use it as a tool with which I can practice my writing - maybe get a bit good at it and find my literary voice. I won't use it as an email replacement. I don't even think I will tell you about it. You'll hate that.
So what do I want for this blog? I don't really know. I guess I'll let it shape itself, live or die as it naturally will.
I anticipate I will have some difficulty writing this blog. My first instinct is to treat it like a Journal but this will contain information no one should know. Besides, I don't think the prospect of random people reading my most private insecurities should be my motivation for writing about them.
I don't want to write this for my friends either, it would mean too much censorship and something that I like about this blog idea is the unaccountability for what I write.
What will I write?
Some people write about things. A blog 'about' something... a blog about town - strikes me as a better blog title then mine and it's appropriate as I'm in London now. I wonder if it's taken? Anyway, the truth of the matter, is I don't really want to write about anything. A few people manage to strike a good balance between life, introspection and things. I can only hope that mine turns out to be one of these.
About me: I am living in my second house in two months in London, next week I will be living in my third. I have a good job that looks as though it's going to get better but could just as likely crash and burn and I am single women - going to stay that way - living with two guys, both of whom are nice but each unremarkable in their own little idiosyncratic way - and I'm green too, remember that.
