If you're going to be reading my blog, which will inevitably include
some very personal thoughts and reflections, you should know a little
bit about me.
Hi! I'm Kelby. I'm twenty-years-old and a current junior in college. I'm
an aspiring journalist and enjoy discussion gender issues in my free
time. So I guess it comes to no surprise I'm a Journalism major with a
minor in Gender Studies. I am also a lover of photo journalism, so
expect to see a lot of my photos.
I have a very love-hate relationship with writing. I've been writing for
as long as I've known how and I usually enjoy writing. Last semester, I
took a class that required so much reading and writing on top of all my
other schoolwork that I began to despise writing. That is, until I
handed in my final writing portfolio for that class. I think somehow
through learning to hate something I had always loved, I was finally
able to really appreciate my writing and not just love the act of
writing, but love what is written.
I've also began to notice that I have (what I think is) a very distinct
and unique writing style. I use a lot of simple and fragmented
sentences, usually for emphasis. I use a whole lot of commas, which I
believe makes up for my dislike of the Oxford comma. Sometimes I'm
straight to the point, yet other times it takes me quite a while to get
to my point. Sometimes I don't even know what my point is until I get to
it or give up on finding it.
I'm awful at keeping to a schedule or plan. I'll probably at one point
or another say that I plan on posting twice a week, but I'm going to be
honest and say that is very unlikely. Something or another will come up
time and again, and I'll forget. I know this from fifteen years of
experience with keeping journals and having pen pals. I just hope that
I'll finally stick to my word and write.
