Why should I have a blog?

I decided to start a blog for a couple of reasons. First, because everyone is doing it. Second, and more importantly, one of the many things I want to do in my life is to be a writer. Whether that's in the form of songwriting, essay writing, or authoring, I don't know. I really like all three types of writing. But I thought it would be a good idea to post some of my songs, stories, and essays so that my friends and family can read them and give me feedback. This is the MOST important part. I want to get better, and I need feedback for improvement to happen. So please comment!

Your friend,
