Why am I writing this?
This has been an amazing experience already. I can't wait to get big so that I can be sponsored by Wix, because they truly have gone above and beyond. This afternoon, at 5:50, I finished a meeting and thought - bugger it, I'm going to write a blog. Literally ten minutes later, I started writing this post. Couple of things motivated me to create this, and in typical Alastair fashion I'm going to provide them in list form:
I want to practice my typing, since I only recently learned to touch type and any practice I can get is very much needed.
Writing this will help me be more organized in my thoughts, particularly politically and opinion-wise, since at the moment they are quite nebulous and I struggle to order them purely through speech.
I wrote a series of four blog-like emails on my trip to Vietnam and Laos, which were well received, so I'm hoping that even one person enjoys reading these (even if it's me)
Most importantly, this will be a public diary of sorts; I will say in this blog all the things that I'm desperate to tell anyone who'll listen, which will hopefully save my family and friends from having to hear them.
Because of these goals, particularly 1 and 4, this will not be a particularly well edited blog and it may contain grammatical errors galore. However, anyone familiar with me knows that it's impressive for me just to write at all, let alone writing correctly, and god forbid writing well! So please, enjoy the content but don't expect the next Brandon Sanderson.
What will I write about
I have a few ideas of what I want to write about, including but not limited to:
Current politics
My work and life
Opinions on people, ideas and society (exclusively poorly formulated and incongruous with each other)
Music
Anything else that comes to mind
Ok, lets see if I can figure out how to publish this. Wish me luck, and see you on the other side!
It begins! (Love me some nebulous ideas!)
