First Post

As I sat at the dinner table with my grandparents and sister, the spiderweb that is my brain connected the comments about blogs (why anyone would throw their entire life story for anyone to read) and my inability to remember what plays and movies I saw.

A friend of mine was given advice from a professor, that when applying for an editorial or technical writing position, the potential-employer would search their work on the internet. Having seen blogs of family and friends, I could not imagine what kind of blog I would be interested in writing. Generally, I enjoy writing fiction, and would prefer to publish my work, so blogging did not seem like a good option.

So why do I think that I would have any sort of following while spewing my opinion? There are plenty of reasons, but I prefer my readers know little about me, and make judgement of my critiquing ability solely based on my writing, instead of my experience.
