I Never Thought Blogging Would...

I never thought blogging would be so.... hard, fun, and creatively challenging.

Blogging at work while the baby is napping! 

I decided to start blogging when I moved to Chicago right after graduating college. I figured it would be a way for me to document this huge new adventure in my life and maybe even shed some light on post-college life for those who were still in school. To be honest, I was surprised when people, besides my mom and grandma, would tell me that they read my blog and loved it. I truly thought that nobody cared and nobody wanted to read about my life. Turns out I was wrong.

In the beginning it was a lot easier to write because I was constantly discovering new things about the city, about improv, and about the people I was meeting. As I started to settle into life as a bill paying, 45 hour a week working adult I found it harder and harder to write. It all seemed boring and like nobody would care. I am slowly learning that if I care it doesn't matter if anyone else cares. Plus I am super forgetful so every time I thought of a good topic to write about I would promptly forget it. But now I have the blogger app on my phone so if I think of an idea I can write it down some place I won't lose it.

Now I finally feel like I am getting the hang of it! It took me over a year to reach out to the blogging community. And frankly if it wasn't for this blogging challenge and link up it might have taken me another year. Seeing so many wonderful blogs with creative and thoughtful content has helped me to push myself during this challenge and hopefully after it as well.
