It's A Computer Screen! It's A Web Page! It's My Blog!

You have found my blog! Congratulations! Now that I have created this, if you care what I'm doing, you can follow this blog and find out, and if you don't, you don't even have to read this! Yay!

I decided to start this blog for a few reasons. They are:

An Aspiring Photographer Needs An Audience – Have you ever tried to find out what people think of your pictures when no one has seen them? And Facebook really doesn't work as well as I'd like when it comes to pictures. And then there's the fact that I commonly go searching through my friends' blogs for pretty landscape pictures and I want repay the favor by letting others search through my blog and steal the pictures that they like.

Writers Need Blogs – Blogs satisfy our sadistic tendencies and unique eccentricity. You see, if I have a blog, I can drop random little peeks into what I'm writing. Things like, “I heard Taylor Swift's Invisible today. It fits so perfectly for one of my characters.” And then I can laugh while I imagine you trying to figure out which character it works for and if she ever gets the guy. (Not that you'd care yet, considering I haven't given you anything of my current draft.)

I Have Many Friends – Okay, so maybe that isn't exactly true. But I have friends all over the continent! I can't keep all of them up to date with everything that is going on in my life. That is another reason I don't use Facebook as often as some do. You can't tell the whole story; it's only allowed to be 420 characters. Blog postings, however, can be as long as necessary.

Blogs Are Awesome - I mean, just look at this beautiful thing! I love to read blogs! If you have time and things to say, why not have a blog of your own?

That, my friends, is why I now have a blog. I hope you enjoy it! (And if you don't, I won't even know!)
