Why I Blog

So I'm a writer.
Well, OK, no I'm not, but I write a lot and I am studying to be a writer so I guess that makes me an aspiring writer who has never actually made any attempts to publish anything.

But I do write a lot.

However, my bursts of inspiration come at sporadic intervals. Sometimes it's at my apartment in Dover and other times it's in the middle of class or on the bus or in the library or on the way to class or in the middle of the night or what have you.

When those bursts of inspiration DO come, I usually try to jot down whatever I can whenever I can on whatever I can find. As a result, my current portfolio is all over the place. Thus, when I get ideas for improvement or things I would like to edit on my current pieces, I sometimes find that I cannot get at what I want because I have it saved somewhere or tucked away or I can't get access to it. For instance, if I am in the library and suddenly think of an idea I have to tweak one of my poems I find that I can't get at it because the poem is saved onto my laptop in my apartment.

So, I thought, blogging. That's good. So wherever I have internet I can get access to the stuff I've written because I have posted it on a blog. I can copy, paste, edit, re-copy, paste again, and save. Voila! Instant organization!

So I will be posting things here as I finish them/am working on them. And, in the meantime, you all can read my stuff and tell me what you think of it!
