I am more of a reader than a writer. The reason is largely because I have, simply put, commitment issues. 

Well not that type of commitment issues. I am very good at starting new projects but I simply have trouble finishing any of them. To date, I am pretty sure I have yet to complete any personal projects of mine (I even have trouble keeping a journal).

However, as a personal challenge, I would like to challenge myself for the next year to write something and not give up and forget about it once I start. Fingers cross

To me writing, whether it's blogging or journal-ing or story telling, is a way to express myself and share my inner thoughts and experiences with the world. We are all born with a desire to express ourselves and be heard. Writing is just one medium that allows for this.
