I read some blogs regularly, e.g. Hayleyghoover (she's my inspiration), and I’m always envious. Have been for ages. So why has it taken me so long to actually start my own? Especially, when I know I enjoy writing, want to write more and occasionally (only occasionally) feel that I have things to write about? It’s because what I’m doing right now filled me with dread. Surely once you have an established blog, regardless of how popular it is - believe me, that is not why I’m doing this - it’s easy, you find a rhythm. But how do you start one?
Well, I’m going to start mine how you start any new relationship. With an introduction. I’m Gem, I’m 25, I’m a team leader at a cinema, live my with lovely boyfriend Kevin and rely far too much on my dad for someone who is rapidly approaching her late twenties - I still haven’t really come to terms with definitely being in my mid twenties yet. From working at a cinema, I imagine that a lot of my posts will consist of various movie reviews. Maybe not even from work. I saw a film on TV yesterday called NYC: Tornado Terror, and I feel that even this deserves a review. Maybe I’ll work on it later…
So anyway, after having been disturbed by my cat, rudely making me get out of bed just so he can think about going outside - certainly not until I’ve got all the way downstairs and opened the door can he make a definite decision about this (he decided not to and is now asleep on the dining room floor), and playing Trauma Centre for a couple of hours, maybe it’s time to publish this? By the way, Trauma Centre is excellent when you can do it, but after having a minor strop at one particular level, I have decided to walk away for a while.
I’ve decided that as I’ve already put laundry out this morning, no more chores should be done on my day off. Therefore, seeing as I’ve got a word processor out (and my boyfriends laptop so I can do it from bed) I’m going to write today. Anything. Everything. Wish me luck.
Have a good Saturday!
