Here goes nothing

Ok here goes nothing. As I posted a few days ago on twitter, I have decided to start a blog to increase my confidence in writing. Truth is I love to write. I don't aspire to be a writer,but I have always enjoyed it and it comes easily to me. However, in the last semester of my undergraduate degree I have faced a hit in my confidence. It wasn't because I didn't try hard enough because I did, maybes its because I was trying too hard, if thats at all possible. Honestly, I don't like that excuse and quite frankly I have judged those that do. But to be honest I have no other explanation why in the last few assignments that I did my grades were so low. Heck I enjoyed each and every one of those topics immensely, more than usual in fact, yet I completely managed to mess it up. Looking back now, I know exactly where I went wrong but when I was writing I did not see it. What is worse is that now I have this engraved fear of repeating the same mistake over and over again. It has come to the point that I no longer think my work is good and I doubt every word I put down. I don't think that this should be the way a graduating student should feel about its abilities. So this is me, not letting past experiences kill something I really enjoy, which is to write. I have also started to read a lot more. I have more time to now which helps, but like it has always been said the more you read the more you learn how to write. I have no idea what I am going to write about in the future. I suppose just thoughts and experiences... after all thats what a blog is about.. right? I have to add that my life is a bit crazy, so putting it all down on paper (as the saying goes) should be fun. So here goes nothing.
