If I Wrote a Blog

When titling my blog “if I were a writer,” I probably should have had an idea about what to write.

Before I describe the concept that I came up with, I would first like to point out that “blog” has become a very common word in my generation. However, I am not totally sold that it would count in scrabble.

“If I were a writer.” I did not have any idea why I began with this title at first. Blogspot just forces you to this. High expectations, this blogspot. In retrospect, while analyzing why I came up with this, I found that I did this as a defensive mechanism. I am quite insecure about self-prolaming myself as “a writer.” (Isn’t it funny how we can look back on ourselves and judge ourselves just as we judge and analyze other people? This was yesterday, and I already realize that I was insecure back then).

Anyway, like any mediocre writer, I have decided that I would base my blog upon the title as opposed to naming the title after my blogs. (Even “blogs” doesn’t sound quite right, right?)

“If I were a writer.” If it is not apparent so far, I have no patience for writing. It’s one more thing I have to do. So if I were a writer, I would spend time writing about the ideas I have in subsequent posts.

I would like to explore what would happen if I took the risk to write in through different mediums. There are speech writers, play writers, newspaper writers, novel writers, poetry writers, religious writers, mystery writers, comedy writers, philosophical writers, advertisement writers, adventure writers, movie writers, etc. I am curious to know what I ideas I would have if I would have been someone who became this sort of writer. Let’s see how far I get.

One of my great rituals over Christmas break is to watch Little Women early in the morning. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry, and it makes me miss my little sisters. There has been one quote running through my mind since the last time I watched it. Jo, the writer, in some advice to her sister on writing, says “never write what you know.” Well I intend to do that. What would I write if I had to come up with an Indie movie plot? I have no idea. Hopefully we will find out.

CORRECTION: I love and miss ALL my sisters equally.
