Hello!

I've always really wanted to do one of these, but I never thought I'd ever have anything meaningful to say. I've never been one to do any kind of creative writing or journal writing, but I've always loved the idea of it. It's a fantastic way to organize your ideas and to expand and develop your thoughts into something more insightful and valuable. So, now that I've spent all this time thinking about how wonderful it would be to have a blog and to write down thoughts and things, it seems like it might be a good time to give it a shot.

So, hello! My name is Emma and I am a student at the University of Cincinnati. I like theatre, literature, people, makeup, movies, and lots of other good things that I'm sure I will talk about in future posts. I don't really like this part of describing myself, so maybe you (whoever you are [hello by the way]) can infer things about me from the future posts that I will write. That will honestly be the hardest part about this: writing posts regularly and keeping this up. I do stick to things, but it does take me a hot sec to get into a groove and a routine so we shall see how that works out.

I still don't know what this blog will be about, but I think we shall just have to wait and see. I got the final kick in the pants to start this blog from the book Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon. This book was so inspirational to me personally, and I'll explain why in my next post. In short, it's a very short and valuable book on how to access creativity, but it's not just for artists. It's for everyone! I find it to be a very insightful and delightful book and I can't wait to talk more about why I love it.

So, in conclusion, hello to me and hello to you! I'm excited about this blog and I can't wait to see where it will go. Thanks for your time and goodbye!
