Starting my blog:

When I was at the TAFE having my one-on-one interview with the teacher, she showed me a list of items and asked if I had done any of the things on the list.
The list included things such as having something published, writing a blog, acting classes etc. When I told her that I had never done any of the things on her list, she informed me that I would need to take up at least one of them as part of the course.
When I got home, I thought about which of the items from the list I would do, and decided to pick the blog.
At first I felt a bit lost as I had no idea what I was going to write about.
I typed in the word 'blog' on my computer, and a list of blogging sites appeared. I clicked on the first site and decided to create a blog.
I typed in all of my information, which was easy. Until I was asked what I wanted to name my blog. I still had no idea what I wanted to write about, therefore I was even more lost when it came to naming my blog.
I sat staring at my computer screen for a while with a hundred and one ideas running through my head, which was when I decided to write about my journey to getting my dream job.
I thought to myself, what better to write about than life experience? Which was when I finally came up with a name for my blog.
Now that I have taken the first step, the rest of the blog has been easy. I am finding that I am actually really enjoying writing it, and so far I have a lot more to write about than I first thought I would.

The next thing that I am working on is getting a few of my short stories published. I already have a list of publishers to send my stories to. I have all of the envelopes written up, stamped and ready to go once I print out final copies of my last short story.
In total I have about five short stories ready to go, so I will see what type of response I get once they have been sent.
