Why The Hell Did I Buy a Website: A-coming-to-grips-with-the-money-I-just-spent-even-though-I-have-no-idea-what-I’m-doing Post

Welcome.

With any luck, you’re reading this on my brand-new website (which was purchased with almost zero thought whatsoever). You may think I’m joking, but I’m not. 

And yet, here we are! My own little somewhat expensive corner of the Internet.

Why did I do it? What am I gonna use it for? And how the hell do I format any of this?

To be honest, I’m still figuring that out myself, but I have some rough ideas. Last night, I took an amazing writing class with Carly Ann Filbin, and realized that it had been a long time since I had shared my writing with people- in person or online. I could blame any number of things, but I’m gonna go with accountability. I had nothing driving me; no reason to sit down and write. And I know that many people have enjoyed my blog, and she will live on and thrive in her Tumblr world as a testament to my 20’s. But if I wanted to really push myself, that meant I needed to make a commitment. And at almost 32, a slice of the World Wide Web seemed like a reasonable thing to buy. 

And lo and behold, here we are: Our Hero- the Website.

Now, what will be on here? I’ll use it for writing the majority of the time. I plan to do some throwback posts, maybe even reflect upon them a bit now that I’m *older*. I’ll share videos and clips of me performing, talk about upcoming projects that I’m lucky enough to be involved in, and who knows what else. It’s going to be a catchall and, for the sake of transparency, it’s going to be fucking messy.

So, sit back, relax, maybe pour a strong cup of tea/coffee/wine/straight-up whisky, and let’s see what this journey has in store for all of us. I hope you’ll enjoy the things I share (if not, I don’t really care) and if all goes to plan, this will be a massive success.

Or a failure. Either one is fine by me.

Xoxo
