So once upon a time I had a livejournal. I probably had an OpenDiary too. And a deadjournal at one point, I believe. And all of this happened before I was 16.
Looking at my adolescent writing now after (almost) earning my bachelor's degree in writing, it looks, well, very adolescent. It is amazing to see what used to interest me as a young adult to what interests me now as a slightly older -- yet still young -- adult.
This blog will force me to keep writing and in turn, force me to keep observing and self-educating myself even though the days of official classes & assignments are almost behind me.
Writing is so valuable and is important as I begin searching for a place to fit in this world professionally. Should I write professionally or should I use writing as a tool to other professions? Marketing? Public Relations, perhaps? Could I be the next Carrie Bradshaw? Jodie Picoult? Susan Orlean?
When I decided to pursue a degree in writing, I had no intentions of becoming a writer but I had every intention of using my degree as a catalyst to pursue any career I could imagine. I had been told my entire life that writing is the most essential tool for success in any individual company or wide-scaling industry. So here I am, writing and still trying to find a specific place to utilize my widely useful skill.
Here it goes.
