The What If Questions

Starting a blog is a lot harder than I anticipated let me tell you. First you have to design it. Then you have to make sure all of your social media sites and your biographies are in order. Finally you have to plan what you want to write. What is your voice? What do you want to tell people about yourself. What parts of your inner soul are you okay with sharing with the world? Starting a blog is a lot deeper than what it appears to be.

But I also feel this feeling of anticipation. What if no one likes me? What if I post these things and no one reads it? As a writer there are a lot of 'what if' questions that go through your mind. And honestly you can't get caught up in the 'what if' because then you will always have a reason not to write. Or you will write but you will never share it with the world.

Keeping your words, your voice hidden is no way to live though. There is a story, a poem, a piece of art that is just waiting to be shared inside of you. It's a piece that only you can say. Even if you only share it with one or two people you have no idea how that could impact someone.

The what if questions can either pull you down or lift you up; because they work both ways. You could always see the negative side to the questions. Or you can have it inspire you. "What if someone reads what I wrote?" "What if someone actually connects with my message?" No one can predict the future. And you never know what could happen before you try.

Throughout this blog I am going to be exploring a few different things:

• What it means to be an author
• How the heck I am going to get published someday
• Tips and advice that I have to share with you
• Random things that I adore that I think need to be shared with the world

Leave below any comments, questions, thoughts, corrections about what you read. And if  you ever need someone to share your work with and have no one else I would love to hear from you. Thanks for reading everyone!
