Blogging, Plans, and Cinnamon Rolls

Friday, July 31, 2015

I've been following blogs - food, photography, books, travel, style, and writing - for years. As both a writer of sorts and new media enthusiast, I've always wanted to blog. I've probably signed up for and started a dozen blogs over the past several years, and never followed through with them. This time, I'm more determined to stick with it.

I started this blog with the intention of using it for my photography; I linked to it on my portfolio and started putting together posts of photo adventures and shoots. But I do more than take photos, so I plan on incorporating that into this blog. I bake (and eat) too many desserts, so I want to post some recipes. I watch too much television and love theater and buy too many books, which I would like to write about on here as well. Along with living in NYC during the school year, I'm going to Europe for a study abroad semester next year, so I plan on writing posts both to update my friends and family about what I'm doing and to create a record for myself of photos, experiences, and thoughts on my first time out of the country while I live in England and travel. I also try to motivate myself to write all the time. During my first year of college, I found myself only writing essay after essay for classes, instead of anything creative or journalistic. My hope is that this blog will help me write more.

Anyways, to start that off, let's move on to the truly important thing: cinnamon rolls.
