Worth Your While

I'm having a hard time writing about myself. I haven't written in a couple days, since my very first post. Monday's and Tuesday's will be hard to write, anyways, as those days don't end for me until 10:30 at night, and I don't feel like sitting in front of the computer when I get home. Although, I am writing now....

I'm rather forcing myself to write, however, to try to get over being uncomfortable about writing about myself. I actually like to write about myself in a creative non-fiction sense, when I have a story or experience I want to tell (though these stories have always been longer in length and not fit, in my mind, for a blog). What I'm struggling with, still, is that I feel that what happens in my day is inconsequential to someone else. Who really wants to sit down and read about my frustrations at work or how I cleaned my house all weekend long? I am writing for me, so I can feel self expressed and also to keep me in the practice of writing every day (or at least more often than not!). But, what throws me off is that I'm writing this blog knowing that people are going to read it and I feel a bit of pressure to make it worth their while.

I know my blog doesn't have to be a laundry list of what I did all day... in fact, I know that I don't have to mention a single thing that I do in my day, it's just what seems to come to mind first.... I'll get into the groove. I don't want this to be an annoying tangent of "what should I write about, what shouldn't I write about?". It is helping me to just write, for even if I don't know what to write about, sometimes just sitting down and starting to write about the mundane laundry list exposes gems of writing inspiration.

I am very tired right now, so I'm going to sign off, but I really do hope to write again soon. Sweet dreams.

Love,
Aislinn
