How does one start their first blog? Will this be my 'it was a dark and stormy night...' to a week or two of honestly trying? I have resisted this BLOG thing. But I got to talk to Pam today.

Maybe I could use this as a warm up?
I could be my free writing warm ups before I write WRITE?
Mostly I am going to use my blog to put my essays somewhere my girlfriends could read. I write better if I write for an audience. I have the same hang up with art. I draw when I imagine something that I want to give to a particular person. For a birthday, thank you.
