Beginner..

I have had a friend who has been blogging for the last couple of years, and she has asked me to make a blog so that we can keep more in touch. I have thought about blogging and wondered about what I would write and whether people would find my doings interesting.

My inspiration to start a blog came from the movie Julie & Julia. I saw that Julia had a specific theme and purpose for her blog, not just random scribblings of her day, so I thought I would do the same.

I decided that there was no way I would be going through a cookbook (despite liking to think myself as bit of a foodie) and writing a food blog, so another challenge was again; what do I write?

Then, not so long ago, I was filling in an application for a job, one of the questions was 'What are your passions?' and that got me thinking. What are passions? Can I count my hobbies such as reading, cooking, and my interest in traveling as passions? So I thought I would write a blog about hobbies and how I am getting through them. There will be no 'Oh, I have a cold' postings (I do enough of that in my journal) and I would like my blog to be a cheerful representation of me.
I have no idea whether I am on the right track for blogging, but I guess I will learn...
