Why a Blog, You Ask?

I do not fall in the category of people who blog to keep record of certain memories.

 I simply have a nagging,

overwhelming,

"gotta get this out"

urge

to write...
                to speak out...
                                       to be heard...
         
                                                           To be someone with a voice.

I'm not really sure what it is exactly that
   
                                                                    I want to write.
or what it is exactly that
                                                                    I want to speak.

Most research I've done on expanding creative writing skills recommends a blog to begin playing around. Tons of publishers want a link to your blog when submitting work to be reviewed. So by using this forum as a scratchpad of sorts, I just might be able to sort through all the ideas in my brain AND create a page I can one day be proud to send in!

So here I am.

It would be awesome to have an audience.

But the real value in this

for me

is to play around with different writing styles... 

maybe develop my own.        
                                                                                                 
To be inspired...

to accomplish

a dream.

To maybe one day author something that is

                                                                                 BIG...
                                                                              
                                                                               BOLD...
                                                                               
                                                                        & BEAUTIFUL!
