The problem with starting a blog, for me, is that I never know how to start it. I\u2019ve been sitting here for a good while just trying to figure out what to write. Do I start with an introductory post? Do I just jump straight in?<\/p>\n
I posed this question on Twitter and a couple of people answered \u2013 with conflicting responses. Helpful, right?<\/p>\n
But it made me realize that there is no correct way to go about doing this. This is a blog, for me, by me. This is MY blog, my space. I can do whatever I want here.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the start of April, and I am currently reading the last book in Meagan Spooner\u2019s Skylark trilogy. I\u2019ve been reading it for a while because I\u2019ve been pausing it every few pages. Distractions are limitless and my focus is limited.<\/p>\n
April also means Camp Nanowrimo. It\u2019s my first time participating and I\u2019m enthusiastic about it. Hopefully I hit my target and complete the short story I\u2019m working on. The last time I tried writing this story, I got stuck on the chapter five. This time, I\u2019m going to go all the way. I hope.<\/p>\n
I was initially planning to write about books that I want to re-read or that I know I would eventually re-read as my first post, but I am thinking a short introductory post like this might work instead.<\/p>\n
So hi, readers, welcome to my book blog. Which may also occasionally moonlight as a food blog.<\/p>\n
