Why is this blog any different

I have created several blogs in the past, but never followed through on my intentions to update them regularly.  So why am I creating this new blog?  What do I believe will be different this time?

Simply that, I have become serious about writing.  For the past few weeks, I have toyed with the idea of becoming a freelance writer; not for the money, but for the practice, because my long-term goal is to pen a book on my tryst with eating disorders.

I have always been passionate about writing, but rarely have I ever written. I was like one of those writers who want to write, but cannot find anything to write.  My writer's block was a convenient excuse to avoid taking time out to write.

After years of procrastination, I have finally realized that I can never be a writer if I don't write!  On the surface, it's so simple.  How do you become a writer?  You write.  The more one writes, the more easily will the ideas flow, and the better one gets at this craft.

With this 'final' realization in mind, I have decided to throw caution to the wind and simply write.  My blogs might remain unknown forever, I might not connect with anyone, and my writing might get me nowhere, but at least I shall indulge my dream of being a writer.  My words will be my own.  My thoughts will be unique.  And my dreams will be fulfilled.

Nothing can make me happier.  So, sit back, and enjoy the ride with me!
