That is a very good question. I have to admit upfront that I am not a devotee of the “Church of the Blog.” What I mean by that is I am not a person who lives and breathes blogs. This is my second attempt at starting a blog. I don’t know if it will work or not. I all depends on if I can get in the habit of it or not.
Why do I feel the need to blog? Yeah, part of it is classic herd mentality. A lot of other people are doing it so why not give a try. Hopefully it won’t hurt as bad as that jump off the cliff I took a few years back.
The other main reason is to give me a public outlet for writing. I have always been a far better speaker than writer. When I was a Senior in college I was finally able to write at a level close to my public speaking ability. Since graduation, that writing ability has deteriorated rapidly. Now that I am back in school, I need to regain my ability to write.
Now your probably wondering what I’m going to be blogging about. Well that is another great question. You sure are full of them today. Probably the thing I’ll blog about the most is politics, as that is what I know. I have been working in politics for about 6 years now, but I am looking to take a break from it for a while. Just because I’m taking a break from working in politics does not mean I will not have any opinions or insights to share. That is what this blog is for. I probably will also talk about other things going on in the world or life in general.
So I hope to hear what you think about my writing and other topics. Wish me luck in keeping this blog alive.
Oh and keep feeding me all of these great questions.
