How to write your first post.



This is for the 3 virgin writers this term, I'm one of you. 

This is day one of the "creative" journey, so if this doesn't turn out too well forgive me.


Step 1
You need to make your blog with no guidance whatsoever. (until you go to Nelsons website and find the wiki how on creating a blog).
Step 2
After getting through the basics, you spend 45 minutes trying to embed some damn music on your blog so you can serenade the world with your favorite songs.  You finally get it on there but its a gigantic picture that takes up half the screen.  aaaaagggggghhhhhhhhhh!!

Step 3
Now is when the magic starts to happen! NOT. This is creative writing class right?? So why am I so uncreative.  Nothing comes to mind, Blank thoughts, thoughts, thoughts(echo in my empty head).

Step 4
After long pondering and the viewing of many an example,
it clicked.  The ideas fill my brain, one problem, 99.8% of these ideas are nonsense, I'm down to two options.  Write about "how to love" something i know nothing about, or write about what I'm doing right now.  My first blog post.

Step 5
As I write, nothing I put on the page comes out how I perceived it in my head.
Everything is a mess, maybe this blog stuff isn't for me, maybe it is for me, we will just have to find out I guess.


Hey Harold, I'm pissed off and nothing inspiring has appeared on this page yet... Maybe it's because my notebook is blank and my perfect pen is out of ink.
