Books: I like them.

Do you ever wish you could read a million books at once? I often find myself feeling that way. Is this what you write blog posts about? The odd things you are compelled to do? What do you even write about on these things? 

I often find that after reading a particularly fantastic piece of fiction, I am struck by the desire to write something equally wonderful, if not more. However, I have a small problem. I'm not a very good writer. I know a lot of people say things like that about their writing, but really. Mine is awful. I often bounce around from topic to topic. It's all very jumbled and disorganized. I also have another problem, which isn't all that small. I don't think I have anything to say. Maybe I do have something to say, I'm just not entirely sure how to go about even beginning to say it. Actually, I guess there are quite a few problems with my writing. At least, I think so anyway. I could go on and on about how awful my writing is and how much I hate it. I guess that's the only thing I can write about. That's not very interesting at all. 

I suppose that this blog will be largely dedicated to my struggles with writing and painting. Though I like to think I am much better at the latter, I know I'm not as good as I could be. I know how to get better, though. I'm not sure how you get better at writing when you're probably the worst writer on the face of the Earth. The worst writer in the known Universe. I like to think that having a blog where I attempt to write about something daily will help me become a better writer. That's my goal. So, I guess that's what this blog is about: my journey to suck less at writing. It's good to know I've figured out at least one thing today. 

Dear Diary, are you there? It's me, Snail.

I made a blog. Obviously. I created this in hopes that I'll write something every day. We'll see how that works out (good positive attitude, huh?). Do you start these sorts of things by talking about yourself? I don't really know how blogs work. So, I suppose I'll just tell whoever is reading this a little about myself, in the event that you don't really know anything about me. Here it goes.

My name is Kayleigh. I'm turning twenty-one in about four days. I attend the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona (imagine that). What I'm studying seems to confuse a lot of people. I've majored in pretty much every major ever in the past two years. I've finally settled (hopefully) on Studio Art. Technically, I'm majoring in Psychology too, but that might change (again, imagine that). I'm entering my junior year. I guess it's pretty exciting. I like to think it is.

I don't know what else to write about. I don't like talking about myself or my life, really. Having a blog doesn't make too much sense, then, does it? Maybe having this will help me to open up and talk about anything and everything. We'll see how it goes.

I think that's about it, for now. Blog post number 1, concluded.
