Even since I was little, I've always enjoyed writing. As a young girl I used to enjoy things like story writing or writing letters to people which is where I developed my love for using my imagination and putting it on paper. In my spare time I would write letters to people like Santa, create stories or write lists. No one in my family particularly gets involved with writing or reading so I'm unsure as to why I developed this interest. When I was in high school, we had a GCSE lesson where we had to write a column in a fake newspaper. Instantly I was interested in this and got stuck straight in it. I was then graded an A* for it which boosted my confidence and made me have the idea about being a journalist when I get older. During my time at school I had a lot of ideas of things I would like to have as a career so I brushed off the idea and went to college to study Childcare and Education. This completely excluded me from developing more in English studies and meant that the A* GCSE English grade I got went to waste.
During my time of college I then discovered how much YouTube can offer people. Regularly I would use videos on YouTube to help me with my work or when I needed advice or a review I would use the beauty vlogs it had to offer. I then discovered some YouTube famous people which inspired me to want to write or be on YouTube. When I discovered that these people started from writing blogs it made me realise that everyone has to start from somewhere. I know it's a long shot to think that me writing every night could lead to someone big but I'm prepared to take the risk.
For a long time I haven't had the confidence in writing a blog and always thought "hmmm what could I write about that interests people?". Then I realised that the blogs I read are just about normal people's lives, the stuff they do and they're reviews of products which interest me. It's always a daunting task to try something new and I'm a natural worrier. I always worry about how the people around me will react to me trying new things or them laughing at me. I've attempted blog writing before and after some jokes were made I took them sensitively and gave up. I've now had to realise that blogging is something I enjoy doing and even if it helps one reader then I'm doing something well. I'm sure that the best creators in the world started with doubts. I think that if I can pluck up the courage to expose myself to the World Wide Web then it gives more hope to the readers and the challenges they may face in life. Positive mental attitude is the key!
I've started writing now so I can develop myself and what I like to write about ready for the new year. 2014 is going to be a good year for me (I hope) and I want this blog to open me out to all kinds of new ideas. This time around I'm not going to give up and I'm going to ignore people. I think it's good in a way as there comments prepare me for the awful realisicts I may face from people in the world so I suppose it's not all doom and gloom.
Hopefully this is the start of something new and a bright future.
