New Blog...

I have been thinking about writing a new blog. Not abandoning this one, just making another one. So easy when it's all free. I'm pretty good at typing without looking at the keyboard so I think it'd be quite successful.

So, I quit my job. Don't know if I mentioned that? Was fed up of being taken the piss out of, expected to do a job I am not trained for and not being paid any more to do. I did it in a sensible manner though, gave them notice and everything. So now I'm really on the job hunt. It is difficult but I'm figuring I have to get lucky at some point because if I don't I'm, well, screwed frankly.

With this change I am hoping it will be the push I need to get going properly with my life. This blog is quite good discipline really. I mean, even though I hardly ever write on it, it is always there nagging away in my brain that I really should write. I don't want to lose that desire to write. It's strange, although I enjoy writing while I do it, forcing myself to sit down and patter away on the keyboard seems to be the hardest bit. Yet when I get here I find it very easy. Perhaps if I had a job that required me to do it in order to be paid, I'd be very good with discipline??

Anyway, yeah... So this new blog, I was thinking I really love fashion and, ultimately, I want to work in fashion. Publishing fashion magazines to be precise. I've been going on at myself for ages to do something worthwhile to prove I'm serious and blogging seems to be the most accessible way of doing that. It does mean pushing my boundaries, especially with directing traffic at it. Although, this blog is online, like I said previously, I'm pretty sure nobody reads it (again, 5th post, hardly surprising) so at the moment I have this all-encouraging knowledge that my thoughts are safe here. But I do want them to be seen, even if it means negative feedback. I want someone to bother, which means continuing the effort. I hope that the title of this blog will encourage people to see that I'm just going for it and not caring how academically gifted I am or, indeed, am not.

I hope people start reading this soon...
