Writing a Blog

This is my first attempt at writing a blog, formally. Never having had any training nor the inclination to write before this, I don't think I am a writer (or so I have maintained). The thought turned into reality at my last job. One of the aspects of the job required me to maintain a blog. But no matter how hard I tried I almost always never 'got it'.

However, I did claim to my manager at the time, how committed I was to getting it right. I flirted with the idea of taking writing lessons, read books on the subject and even practised a wee bit. Infact this blog was set up a year ago as part of one of those ideas. Somehow all the critique on my earlier writing at the job had left me defeated. I had decided to lose the battle before it ever began.
Looking back now though, I don't think I was serious enough to follow through with it. It was not into me to do what it took to get the job done, and done write!

So here I am now, dedicating these pieces to that manager who, in a way, truly introduced me to the art of blog writing. Hopefully, I will get it right this time.

so long,
miss tee
