Remember Your First Time?

One of my best and closest friends started a blog that I began to follow and the idea of creating my own intrigued me. Stephen King (one of the greatest writer's alive IMO) has stated that he writes primarily for himself. So regardless of whether this blog becomes wildly popular or recieves a relatively small following, I do this as an outlet for my own creativity. But I digress; aftering posting what I was hoping to be an intelligent and thoughtful comment (more for his sake than for mine) he approached me and told me that I should do my own blog.
So here I am 8 hours later in front of my computer screen, clicking away at the keyboard and feeling in a place of zen. Hearing my friends words echo in my head; "You're quite the writer."
I guess the focus of this post is to be somewhat motivating to those out there who read blogs but have never started your own. I encourage any aspiring writer or anyone who feels as though freeing your thoughts in a stream of words for the entire world (or at least those with internet access) to read, to do so.
And if you do end up reading my blog you'll probably find some funny stories and some sad ones. My opinions and views as honestly as I can provide them. And so amusing quirks about life and some things that I have a serious problem with.
At all times your opinions are your own and you are free to express them, although I do ask that for my mother's sake you refrain from personal attacks (did I mention she is a master of ninjiutsu?).
Anyway I'll wrap things up and let you get back to your own life but I encourage you to come back soon and see if anything I write impacts you or amuses you or (godforbid!) makes you cry. I'm open to suggestions and creative criticism, requests and at the risk of inflating my ego, even some praise.
The Last Word: no matter what you think you're capable of, you can ACTUALLY do more!
