new beginnings

The problem with starting a blog, for me, is that I never know how to start it. I’ve been sitting here for a good while just trying to figure out what to write. Do I start with an introductory post? Do I just jump straight in?

I posed this question on Twitter and a couple of people answered – with conflicting responses. Helpful, right?

But it made me realize that there is no correct way to go about doing this. This is a blog, for me, by me. This is MY blog, my space. I can do whatever I want here.

It’s the start of April, and I am currently reading the last book in Meagan Spooner’s Skylark trilogy. I’ve been reading it for a while because I’ve been pausing it every few pages. Distractions are limitless and my focus is limited.

April also means Camp Nanowrimo. It’s my first time participating and I’m enthusiastic about it. Hopefully I hit my target and complete the short story I’m working on. The last time I tried writing this story, I got stuck on the chapter five. This time, I’m going to go all the way. I hope.

I was initially planning to write about books that I want to re-read or that I know I would eventually re-read as my first post, but I am thinking a short introductory post like this might work instead.

So hi, readers, welcome to my book blog. Which may also occasionally moonlight as a food blog.

I’m Ara, a Southeast Asian writer who someday hopes to have published a novel, and who is currently losing herself in the worlds created by others. I love books and food and television and blogging and I get distracted and sidetracked easily.
