Why I Hate Writing Blog Posts

Hello and thank you for visiting my new blog! It’s taken a lot of blood, sweat and tears to squeeze this post out, so I appreciate you bending over to take a look, instead of wrinkling your nose and continuing on your way. Thank you for looking at my shitty first post.

I really hate writing blog posts. It’s strange, because I’m not a particularly shy person in life. I don’t have problems meeting new people or making friends, and I’m pretty forthright about expressing my opinions. For some reason though, when I’m on the internet, I clam up. I have a hard time establishing myself in online communities. I struggle to find ways to contribute meaningfully in forum topics, and I have a difficulty connecting with people I meet online. Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, the works. It’s a huge mental drain, and genuine source of anxiety.

So why bother then? Besides the practical benefits that come from having a blog, I’m hoping that with a little patience and perseverance, I can push through this malaise. I think it’s important to have a voice, especially as an artist. I may not end up posting a lot. (Most of this entry is a thinly-veiled excuse for not writing a ton going forward anyway.) Furthermore, I’m still not really sure what I want to write about besides upcoming and current projects. I hope you’ll bare with me though as I attempt to find my internet voice and, in so doing, make my rise to power, fame, and success!
