Hi blog, I write. Sometimes.

So, according to the BuzzPlay quizzes I took this afternoon out of extreme boredom (followed by a 2-hr powernap and, well, lots of staring out the window wondering what I should do with my life) I found out the following three things:

  1. France is the country that best fits my personality;
  2. My subconscious nationality is German; and
  3. The career that I' meant for is that of a writer.
And now here I am at 1AM trying to write a blogpost whilst watching Jimmy Fallon's monologue after a mojito. I'm not much of a drinker, so I'm slightly tipsy - which only helps me to scribble down more words.

I started this blog years ago, renaming it numerous times and re-kickstarting it even more often. The layout has changed, the title has changed, everything has changed. Much like myself, if I may say so. 

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for writing. Even though in recent years this has mostly been academic essay writing, the creative side of me has found a way out in writing meeting notes and team news letters for work. But because I never really thought of a topic to write on, I never bothered to write a blog entry. Until I came across a travel writer's answer to a writers block: write about the writers block! 'Today, I can't seem to write because X'. 'I want to do Y.' Soon enough, there'll be enough words on the screen to work with. How to get better at writing? By writing. More and more. Much writing. So words. Wow.

And he was right. So here it is. A new blog post. About nothing. But it's a blog post. So that makes me a blogger, thus, a writer. Here's to new beginning #ialreadyforgothowmaniethtimethisis. LETS DO THIS.
