The “Why” of it
I’ve had many diaries and blogs over the years. I always used to start and open them just to talk about my own problems, my own silly day-to-day happenings. I still have a blog that’s like that. However, I wanted to try something different. I want to try to improve my writing, learn how to be funny and witty in my writing, keep people entertained. I don’t know if I’ll succeed, but my ultimate goal is to transfer my blog to my own website.
Why then? Because I have a year before I start college. I have a year to do something with myself. I don’t have many oppertunities or ways to do anything where I live, but I CAN try to have a successful blog online. A blog that people will actually enjoy coming to. I know, I know, I don’t have much of a chance, but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t try.
My general information, just to let you know who I am: I’m eighteen, I live in Israel, I’m American, I gradutated highschool, I’m a bit odd and I love to write. I’m also often shallow, an atheist, a liberal, a romantic, a very silly thing and a pessimist all too much of the time.

I support you. Good luck.
Thank you so much. I truly appreciate it.
Hi, I finally found your blog. I’ve added it to my blogroll. It took a while to find it. I’ll try and see if I can figure it out so your name will leave a link. I’m not to great at stuff like this!!!
I loved reading the “WHY” of it. No matter your age, you already sound like you’re on the right path.
Recently I heard a saying that I’ve now adopted: When you’re young, you chase success. When you’re older (ahem! “wiser”), you seek significance. It sounds like you will always strike a balance.
Good luck with your writing! See you on Oprah’s couch!
P.S. Please do not hesitate to post on your blog(s) my offer for a FREE gift (pdf) copy of my book (see below). Simply my way of ‘giving back’ in life…
take care,

Re your comment “I’m also often shallow, an atheist, a liberal, a romantic, a very silly thing and a pessimist all too much of the time.”
pretty much sums up most young adults.
Keep reading, reading, and reading (a variety of genres), and the writing will come in no time. The more you write, the more you will discover your voice.
it was nice getting to know you, fellow atheist

Love the blog, keep writing
Ah, I like this train of thought. I am looking forward to reading more of your blog entries.
writing to improve your writing is *always* a good idea. i also second “auntie” — read, read and read. it’s the best (only?) way to get better at writing. good luck!
