A Last Beginning

I have enjoyed writing my whole life. I have journals from the time I could write till I graduated from high school. Life was simpler then I guess, jotting down thoughts on the daily wasn’t putting out “effort.” Once I got to college, it was different. Through my college years, I tried and failed multiple times to start a blog and keep it going. I would run out of content, attempting to “make it big” and not actually really achieving very much. Even after college, I attempted blogs of various themes with hopes that keeping to a particular subject would help boost my commitment. It didn’t work.

Now, I have different ideas. This blog is just for me. No goals for a large readership, although that would be nice. Instead, I want to craft a place for me to practice writing, build a network to gain feedback, and ultimately use writing as a method to simply grow as a person. So as the title of this post foreshadows, this is the last beginning of a new blog for me. No matter what happens, I am just going to keep writing. Even if it is month’s between posts, or if I don’t have many readers. This is inherently a place for me to practice and improve, a training ground for life’s narrative.

For those few readers that I do have, you may have noticed that I changed the name of my blog to Le Boo. There is a reason for this. I recently have gotten into thriller style podcasts and short stories. I really want to delve into this genre and see what I can produce. To do so, I thought I needed a blog name that is a little more reflective of that. Honestly, I have also always hated writing under my own name. The blank face of readers throughout the universe does not scare me, their judgement or harsh criticism of any future work I may produce not quite so damning. But to have a known face read or criticize my work, well it does make me uncomfortable. I worry that I’ll be judged in my professional or private life, and why that is honestly sort of stupid to feel that way it is something I need to work through.

In any case, here is the start to a new adventure. Hopefully filled with haunting and beautiful prospects. Until next time, sleep well.
