The plague of praise.


Even as a child I had the urge to write. My mum still has pieces of paper with my name scribbled across them from when I was a kid and begging her to let me play with pens. In school I always enjoyed creative writing the most so this influenced my decision to take English language in college. Unfortunately the course wasn't what I expected and I spent more time analysing the scrawlings of three year olds than I did actually writing. Outside of the education world I tried to keep up with my writing. I've attempted numerous times to start a diary yet they always seem to turn out the same, three entries in a row and then a six month gap before anything else. I've written a few articles too but nothing huge. The idea of a blog seemed ideal. It could be a combination of a diary and a collection of articles. I didn't want to create a blog with a particular theme because being restricted to only write about one thing makes me not want to write at all.
