Why Do I Write This Website?

So what gets me out of bed each day? What do I love to do? Why have I decided to write this website?
I really enjoy writing, that’s all, though I’m not at all convinced that I’m much good at it. I have been into writing for many years, in fact I remember when I was really young and in primary school I wrote stories one after another.
I wrote them then gave them to my teacher who read all of them. I suspect he got a little bored with it all. I can’t believe I wrote so many stories when I was young and he read them.
When I got older I did a degree in the Arts but I never concentrated on writing, and now I wish I had done so. If I had my time all over again I would take my time to study what I loved to do then and still love to do. I do love it.
I have no idea if I would ever have become good enough at writing to make a living at it, but I would have liked to have tried. You never know unless you try, and I wish I had tried.Maybe I would have failed, but at least I’d have known.
I would have given it a really good go, and would have made a difference if I’d tried.
Writing well can be learned I’m really sure. It’s a learnable skill. It’s not something that you’re born with. It’s a skill that anyone, including me, should be able to learn. I think the most important thing is that you enjoy it and if you enjoy it you’ll keep at it till you’ve learned.
But if you love it then you’ll be happy to write every day, and if you write every day you’ll be getting in so much practice that you’re bound to get really good at it, well maybe I suppose. So I really feel that the most important thing to getting really good at writing is loving doing it.
So this is where I plan to write, and write, and write. It’s my website, probably no one will read it but me, but who cares.
I don’t care about that, I’m not writing it because I want someone to read it, I’m writing it because I like writing it. So if you’re reading it then you might be my first reader, after me.
If so then thanks for being my visitor and reading my website.
