and the worst blogger award goes to...

I have actually been pretty terrible with keeping this blog afloat. Attention span wavers very quickly and easily with anything to do with the internet, in all honesty, I'd rather peruse Ebay than write. Extremely lazy and not very good for the old bank balance. But, with college looming, I probably ought to start putting more effort into this blog.

My issue is that I'm very critical of myself and my opinions. I never want to put anything negative out there, I don't see the point, but I worry what I write about is too enthusiastic and maybe comes across as being a bit gushy? I don't know. But I feel like everything I write is a bit 'omgthisisamazingyouallneedtolistentoitnow' and I can't quite get past that mental block. I think it's a fear of not being good at something I've wanted to do for quite a while.

However, with college starting up soon (16th September to be precise) I should probably put myself out there a bit more via social media websites. I need to have some sort of presence in order to make an impact and whilst I remain unemployed by any form of newspaper or magazine, the internet is my only option. I've been playing with the layout a little bit and I've attempted to make it look a bit more professional and less Blogger default layout with tweaked colour scheme.

So, my plan is to try and get at least one post written and put out there per week. It might not seem like a lot, but I work five evenings a week and I'm also extremely lazy, so little and often is going to become key. I have little lists of things I could write about, albums and songs and various other bits and bobs, it's just gathering the motivation to write about it and push all self criticisms aside.
