First time

I stared at the computer monitor for like ages before I was able to find the first words to write.
And it's not even THAT striking....

I have been wanting to create my blog for a long time but never really found the time (read: courage) to do so.

What will I write about? Will my post be read? Will it be interesting to anyone?

Let me just give you a little background....

I am a high school teacher. I teach English, and I am also the adviser of our school organ, The Madrigal Tribune. I teach my staff the basics of news writing, feature writing, editorial writing, editorial cartooning, sports writing, and sports writing.

We are consistent winners to writing competitions. I've been to so many places to compete. I attend trainings and workshops to further my craft. I also win in writing competitions for school paper advisers.

My students would often ask me to create a blog so they could read my work. I tell them okay if I have free-time.

I keep postponing it. I keep telling them that I have mountains of papers to check, and lesson plans to write. But the truth is I feel mammoths inside my stomach. I am afraid to write. Afraid that I would only produce so-so work (like this one).

I always tell them to write observing unity, coherence, etc. But I don't think this work has any traces of that.

I don't even know where this is leading.

I am still staring at the computer monitor. And ending this thought without even knowing if I even started.
