To Blog or Not to Blog

I am a writer. I enjoy the clicking of keyboards, the long hours of majestically sipping away on a large cappuccino in a dimly lit café, the oh-so-generous helping hand of Autocorrect, and, most importantly, the proper use of the Oxford Comma. The thing i do not particularly enjoy is the pressure of having to write something. No thanks, mi compadre, that is not the life for me. So i didn't bother starting a blog, i kept my thoughts to myself and sporadically scrawled some topics i enjoyed thinking about in the few billion notebooks i have yet to fill.
Only recently have i begun seriously writing down my thoughts, in detail. Over the past year i have gone through quite a bit of change in myself that did not leave much room for entertainment blogging. I knew i wanted to do it eventually, but the question was "when?" There are very important decisions in life that call for the perfect time, otherwise they might as well be drop kicked to New Jersey with all the actual progress you'll make.
So here i am. I've gathered my drop-kicked potential and have it tucked away in the closet for good use. I want to blog, not for the audience (though that's a potentially added bonus), but for the outlet it gives me to word vomit (creatively) into the ever-present internet. I love to write and i love to voice my opinion, so this seemed to be the perfect place in which to do so. I'm excited, apprehensive, and resolute in my decision to start this. Prepare yourself.
Hello, and welcome, to the Treasures of the Traveler.
