Learning to write for myself

I have always been interested in blogging as a way to document daily thoughts and periodical progress. I figure it will be fun to look back and rediscover what I was thinking at certain points in life. What has been crippling thus far is the thought that the writing has to approach perfection — reviewed, edited, and over-analyzed.

But, life is messy. There are many mistakes from day to day, so I guess it’s only natural if my writing contains grammatical errors and a lack of variation in prose. After all, odds are that I’ll be the only one reading these. The most important part is that I just start, just write.

Cheers.
