Why I'm Doing This

I have tried many times to make a blog. I have tried to do blogs where I did movie reviews, or complained about the world, or wrote brief jokes. All of these blogs have failed.

At first I thought I failed because I just got bored or lazy, unwilling to do the work to truly keep up the work necessary for such an endeavor. And this might be true. In fact, it probably is. But what's more important is something I realized just recently. These blogs failed, because there was there was no purpose to them. There was nothing there that helped anyone, especially me. When I realized this about 5 minutes ago, I immediately rushed over to my computer and stated this blog.

This blog is not for you. I am not writing this to amuse you or make you happy. If people read it, if they enjoy it, great, the more the merrier. This is, after all, a public website, and I write this knowing anyone can read what I write. But the reason I write this is for me.

I want to be a better writer than I am. I have trouble really sitting down and writing something, and I want to be able to do that to make the movies I want to make. I think that having this blog will be a good way to get my creative juices flowing whenever I need them to. Also, perhaps more importantly, this blog will be part of my own personal therapy. Lately, I've felt kind of...I don't know how to describe it...but its not good. It is most likely normal teenage angst, but in case its something more, I'd prefer to have some sort of outlet. Wouldn't want to go shooting up my school.

I am totally kidding about that by the way. Please don't call the cops.

I also feel like when I write, I can really gather my thoughts together, and my ideas seem to come more freely. However cliche that may sound, its true. At least, sometimes. Sometimes I prefer to keep it in my own head, when even my 60WPM typing cannot keep up with my thoughts. In these cases, sucks to be you. You don't get to hear everything about my own personal psyche.

I might or might not edit these at any time. I haven't decided. Some of them I might edit, and some of them I might not. Maybe a couple months from now I'll come back to this post, see something I don't like, and fix it. Again, not for you, for me.

Whew! Look how much I wrote! I'm already tired! I can see that this might be hard. Well, I'm still going to try to write in this 3-5 times a week. I already have two more topics in mind. But I'm too tired to write about those.
