The Journey Begins



I wanted to write this as soon as possible, fueled with great confidence and a little intimidated by what is to come. I want to write. I want to write good and write a lot. I want to write good and write a lot about things I care about and express myself through my writing. I am going to do this, do it a lot, do it until I get good enough so I can have an audience. When I reach that point, I will serve my audience the way I feel like. If anyone doesn't like it, they can leave, no hard feelings. This is what my life will become and this is who I will be. I didn't really prepare for this post. Everything I am writing here are my raw, unfiltered thoughts. It feels so good to tell the world, 'I am prepared to walk the path you've laid before me', and I will do just that.

How will my life decision affect this blog? Well, I changed the title to something more fitting. I will mainly be covering gaming related topics. You'll see a lot of opinion pieces from me on this blog, mainly because that's my biggest strength but I will continue to expand my topics as time goes on. After all, this blog will define the birth and growth of my "career" as a writer. I won't be writing just about video games, but they will definitely be on the forefront. I will also try to talk about the other forms of artistic media, gradually learning more and more about them as I do research and prepare for each post.

I feel good. This feels good. It's not gonna be easy but I won't give up on it, and trust me, I can be a very tenacious bastard when it comes to the things I am passionate about. If it doesn't work out, at least I'll die of starvation doing what I wanted, and not what I was told to.
