If I ever wanted to surround myself with something, it would be stories.
My uncle once told me that a wise person goes into business with the thing they want to surround themselves with. A person who loves shoes becomes a cobbler, and a person who loves animals becomes a zoo keeper, etc.
“That’s why I became a banker,” he explained.
As I reflected on what I want to do and what I want to spend time on, I found myself always coming back to writing. Writing is something I’ve wanted to do since I was young. When I was growing up, I loved solving mysteries with Sherlock Holmes, going on magical adventures with Harry Potter, and learning to become a strong woman with Jane Eyre. I even wrote a 30 year plan where I was going to write a best selling book and have a movie deal by the time I was 35 years old! I guess I never applied myself to see that plan come into fruition…But still, here I am, still wanting to write.
When I realised my husband had bought a domain with my name, it made me think of what I could do with a personal website. Blogging was the first thing that popped into my head; although I don’t feel I’m an expert on anything to post anything worthwhile.
For now, this is somewhere I want to experiment with the process of writing. Maybe I’ll post a few short stories or ideas on here, maybe I’ll blog the process of becoming a writer, or maybe it’s a place where I go and dump my thoughts.
Where and what it will lead is still unknown…I guess this is start of my own story.
