Writing

I used to write a lot more than I do now. It used to be a requirement by the state education that I write essays on the subjects I was studying to prove that something was sinking in. I used to loath it. The though of sitting down and writing about what I had learnt or experienced sounded like a small personal hell. How things change.

Now I have grown up, physically rather that mentally, I have begun to write at any given excuse. My chosen profession is one in the design realm where more often than not I don't create the content, I just make it work and look right. So I find myself seeking out opportunities to write elsewhere. The Internet has become my greatest ally in my quest. It allows me to vent my writing needs on blogs, message boards and through a series of applications on various devices (This one being the most obvious).

I don't know what has changed in the years between my early years and those of the present, maybe it's just the fact that I am writing for myself now rather than being dictated what to write. Maybe it's the feeling that I need to document my life to create some kind of self worth or justification. Or maybe it's just the addictive nature of the Internet, I don't know. But what I do know is that I am thoroughly enjoying my experiences in writing and intend to push them further to see where they go.

The first step is the independent magazine/paper that I intend to publish in the near future that features the ramblings of myself along side some more qualified contributors. It is a really exciting project for me and one that has been a long time coming. It is a little bit precious to me so I hope it is received well in order to motivate me to initiate issue two.

That is all for now until my next thought leaks out onto my keyboard or note book. I encourage you to get out a writing implement and write just for the enjoyment, it is quit freeing and you never know what might happen.
