Deciding what parts of my life are suitable for public consumption is tough.
Nothing I do is really so out-of-the-ordinary that anyone would want to read it. I probably won't even want to read it when I finish writing it. Shouldn't everyone feel that way about their life? "Of course everything I do is normal... I did it, didn't I?"
When something goes horribly wrong it might be interesting just because it is unplanned, which gives me an idea. In an attempt to make my writing more enjoyable I am going to fail horribly at something at least once a week so I can write about it.
Please appreciate the effort I am putting into adding an element of interest to my life. I am by nature a very cautious person, so this will be a challenge for me. Usually if I think I will fail at something I just don't do it. That is the reason I'm in my first semester of college at thirty-one. College was intimidating when I was eighteen, so I didn't go.
I'm hoping my new plan to fail at something each week will be therapeutic, and I won't be so uptight about trying new things. This is where the awesome interactivity of blogging will be a help. If you have a suggestion of something I can attempt and hopefully fail, post it here. I promise I'll try to work up the nerve to do it. I have no intention of risking my life, but feel free to suggest whatever you want. I look forward to your input.
I think you're off to a fabulous start. :) I applaud your efforts.
