My Latest Obsession: Blogging

My latest obsession may seem like an obvious one.  If you're going to write a blog it would be advisable to actually enjoy blogging.  I started blogging almost three months ago which isn't very long but it has become part of my life and I love it!



From a very young age, I loved to write.  I wrote everything and anything I could: lists, poems, short stories and even attempted a few novels which were never completed.  I had dreams of becoming an author and I still hope to write a book sometime in the future.

About a year ago I decided I wanted to write a blog.  It was something I was very interested in and I thought about it for a long time.  I read through endless articles on blogging so I could understand more about it.  I wanted to start blogging more than anything and give myself a reason to write more.  I held myself back for ages, scared of people finding it and judging me because blogging is something different.

Three months ago during Easter I decided to just go for it and so Blue-eyed Brunette was born!  Once I got the hang of it I was hooked!  Seeing my view count increase over time gives me such a buzz.  The views are increasing slowly but steadily and it amazes me that all these people have seen my blog.  I have views from countries as far away as Australia and Canada which is just incredible!  I also love getting comments!  So far they have all been so positive and it really makes all this worthwhile.

Blogging allows me to be my creative self.  I can write about things that really interest me and I like how I'm not tied down to any deadlines.  I love taking pictures for my blog and editing them to my liking.  I have a long list of blog post ideas written down which I refer to regularly.  Sometimes I feel like I'm getting writers block and just can't put words to the ideas I've come up with.  Lately though, I've been on a roll and the words are just pouring out of me.

I definitely want to continue with blogging for as long as I can.  I'm still a complete amateur and have no idea what I'm doing most of the time but hopefully I will learn as I go.  Blogging has now become a part of my day and my latest favourite hobby.

I hope you enjoyed this little post.  I'd love to hear about some of your hobbies or blogging experiences and until next time...

I'll see ya when I see ya!
