I have started this blog, ultimately for my writer's workshop class, and my objective is to combine two things I love (one of which has to be writing) and create a blog about them. This was extremely difficult for me because when it comes down to it, I just really didn't feel like I had a lot to write about and didn't really know what love I could combine with writing.
I started out with the cliche thing for me, to combine music and writing, but I had no idea what to write about with it, so I just moved on. Then I thought about sports, and I didn't want to be either one of the ten people in the class to do sports OR the only one to do do it, so I dropped the sports idea too. After that I was already discouraged, and could not think of anything else to write about and kind of stopped trying for awhile.
I have now realized that I would rather not get a failing grade on this assignment, and have come to the conclusion that I will just combine the only thing that comes to mind when I think of this assignment, and will just write about music. My blogs will mostly consist about the instruments I play, but when it comes down to it, my passion for music will probably seep through the words on the screen and I may start talking about different topics on top of that. Hinting at the "Field of Ideas" title for my blog, I will write about a broad spectrum of different topics but the range of topics is limited to the music topic only, for the most part.
I play the guitar, drums, bass guitar, and a little keyboard, and I sing and I am probably the best rapper you could find out there. Music is life to me, because it is my outlet when I can't seem to be able to tell people what's wrong or what's bothering me or whatever. I can project thoughts and ideas through music, which I guess you could say helps me stay sane a little bit. I am that kid in class tapping and drumming that you get so annoyed with and tell to stop and when you do I get embarrassed and yet ten minutes later or so I will be absent-mindedly at it again. For this I apologize to anyone and everyone in advance, and if I never have before.
I still feel like the music being combined with writing thing isn't the best I could come up with, but at the same time maybe it will work out alright. I guess we will find out once I get past this intro and I get started actually blogging. And to be honest, this intro to blogging thing wasn't as bad as I thought.
