I never thought I'd actually start a blog.

I mean, I've written articles for the internet...but a blog just seems so...self-serving. Self-promoting. A friend once compared it to having people read your diary. How...horrifying.

Someone recently asked me, "Are you allergic to money?"

Having never been exposed to it in large doses, I'd have to say I'm not sure.

However, it has just been pointed out to me that if I want to be a writer, I simply MUST have a blog. And so, I begin this voyage of self-expression with great trepidation. In all of the questions of my life, that is one thing I do know: I want to be a writer. I am a writer...I just haven't gotten officially published yet. Partially because I tend to panic when it comes time to put the query in the mail.
