Today I shall take my first tentative steps into the world of blogging.
Inspired to set up a WordPress account in December 2009 after following this blog for a while, it’s taken me this long to finally bring myself to set fingers to keyboard. This raises a few questions I feel …
Why so long? I’m not sure, but I think I’ve had a sense of not having anything sufficiently interesting or thought-provoking to say, after all who would be interested in my ramblings? However, through reading other blogs I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not all about being controversial, thought-provoking, political or profound; just much pleasure, knowledge and interest can be gained from just reading about someone’s day – a little adventure here, an anecdote there, a moan, whatever. It’s interesting to see how others view life’s inexorable passage, and sometimes it’s really nice to find out you’re not the only one who has weird, wonderful or downright strange things happen to you.
Is anyone going to read it? I don’t know, I don’t really mind if they do or don’t. I think I’m just going to enjoy writing and cataloging the ups, downs and sideways of what is, in the main, a pretty ordinary life interspersed with ‘adventures’. If nothing else it may liberate my creative side which has been hidden away for far too long.
What will I write about? Hhhhmmm, no idea! Let’s see where this journey takes us shall we!
And so, with those few thoughts I commit my first post to public scrutiny 
Heh heh. Welcome to the wonderful world of blog. I think the key thing is to enjoy it, and not put yourself under pressure thinking you have to write anything, or keep to any sort of schedule.
Just have fun basically
Thank you
I’m looking forward to getting into some creative writing. I used to be quite good at it but then became mired in report writing and lost some of the urge to write expressively.
