The Fire Has Been Lit

And we are up and running again, thank heavens! 

You may be asking yourself, "What on earth could have gone wrong to stop the posts so early in the blogging process”? Well, darlings, I shall tell you. In a nutshell, it was a mixture of perfectionism and my inability to make a decision. When I first had the (may I say, brilliant) idea to start this blog, I could not have been more excited to start writing again. As a student specializing in English and Literature, I spend a good chunk of my time in front of a computer putting my genius to paper. I do not, however, always get to do it my way. The world of academia is filled with rules, regulations, and a continuous stream of drafts and spell checks. So, naturally, the thought of sharing my daily thoughts, photos, and general rambles with the digital world sounded like a breeze! The next day I created my account, logged in, and created my first post.

Then I remembered who I was. I immediately dove into a pool of templates, headers, and Photoshop. In other words, I spent so much time trying to decorate my blog that I forgot to write it! Finally, I saw the error of my ways, picked the next theme I found, and called it a day. And may I just say, it is good to be back. So keep checking in for more posts, pages, pics, and (I can only imagine) even more changes.

The fire has been lit, my friends. Feel the burn.
