To blog or not to blog... a different kind of question. Not so much a "should I/shouldn't I", but more of a "how the heck do I plan on pulling this one off".
There' no denying how important it is, as a writer, to start up a blog of some kind. It gives people (and possible employers, *hint hint wink wink*) a definitive source to any kind of writing/thought/blurbs/general insanity that might pour out of your head. A nice little window into the brain of you. And if, like me, you've had limited exposure to the world in general, it's never a bad idea.

I've had several ideas for several blogs in the past - one aimed at college female gamers, one called Hike and W(h)ine, and one involving the ups and downs of a life with PTSD. All not terrible ideas, considering I (mostly) picked fields I felt were only loosely covered... or at least something I have some amount of knowledge in. The Hike and W(h)ine blog would probably be the one where I would be the most novice in - I adore wine, but my taste tends to be a bit young at best.
My biggest problem? I can't start the damn things. Or, worse, I start them and don't keep up on them. School tends to eat up one's "free time" (is there such a thing in college...?). BUT! With college quickly coming to a close, I've gotta be all proactive and stuff and put a name out there. Any name. As long as it's somehow loosely affiliated with me.
I've gotta smack at least one of these ideas into submission, and the most pressing one seems to be a blog about gaming. not the most original thing, but I can put a feminine twist on it, add a dash of comedy, and see how that goes. Why not, right?
