Stumped

It’s been several weeks since I committed to blogging more, and I have yet to be inspired. There are small things that happen at work or when I’m with friends but nothing sensational or funny. Maybe I should start taking notes as things happen. I’ll keep trying.

Big Scary Leap

I feel if I write about anything other than traveling, it has to be interesting, and funny, and concise, and meaningful. And all that pressure I place on myself has kept me from writing or blogging just to write. But I want to start trying it more. It’s like a muscle that I want to start stretching and conditioning so that maybe I can use it for better purposes.

I’m not sure where to start or what to write about. When I have a trip to describe, or a topic which I have researched, it is pretty easy for me to flow and often I have to edit down. But writing to write is incredibly intimidating because I don’t consider myself particularly creative. Fiction is out of the question.

So what does that leave me? Insights about life—Ha! I’m 24. Reflections about my beliefs or feelings—this isn’t a diary. I think I want to blog like I’m telling a friend about something that happened or someone I observed during my day. Working in customer service I encounter a large variety of interesting people and I think I might have a knack for describing their uniqueness.

I’ll give it a shot and I hope you find it interesting, funny, concise, and how about entertaining instead of meaningful? Wish me luck!
