Introducing: Tamzyn.
I’m Tamzyn Jackson and this is my first post on medium. So, hello. Unless you already know me. Then it’s hello again.
When I first decided to start a blog, I spent a long time agonising over what to write it on. If I’m putting my name out there, it has to be something I’m passionate about, have plenty of knowledge about and can talk for a long time about.
I thought, should it be books, my favourite television programs, maybe I should write reviews for what films have just come out. I know I could waffle on for weeks about those things.
Or perhaps I could write about the daily struggles of afro hair, my obsession with trying a new face cream every week or, heck, I could even write about what my favourite sweets are. (Parma Violets, by the way).
So in the end, I have decided to write about all of those things. I am going to document my life, interests and my journey to hopefully becoming a published writer.
I get the feeling that this blog may end up sounding a little like diary entries every now and then. But that’s really not such a bad thing, is it? I would probably read someone’s diary if I could.
I feel like it’s a pretty relatable place that I find myself in. I have just finished a degree in English and I find myself saying ‘so now what?’ I have so many things that I could do and only a basic idea of what I want to do.
So I’ll start with what I’m good at. Writing. I may even treat you to a few of my short stories or a chapter or two of my novel.
All I ask is that you have faith in me. Stick around because there’s some good stuff coming.
