What is "Letters From a Snowflake?"

I have a clarification to make. 

The description of the blog that you will find on the page is ‘In which I ramble thoughtfully about various things that strike me and share the occasional short story or book recommendation.’ 

But what do I mean by that? And how did it end up becoming this?

Back when I was first starting out in the realm of blogging/email listing/platforming, I was convinced I had to pick a certain niche, a certain category and to stick to it. I couldn’t stray outside of the topic my blog was for.

The problem was, I always have so many things I want to say about so many different things and as I realized I couldn’t write about them and share them with you, I kept getting stuck. After that, I lost interest in any blog I had, and I even set aside blogging for awhile, convinced I was really bad at it.

So I decided to surrender. I wouldn’t pick a niche and stay with it. I’d start another blog where I could write about all the things I wanted to share. I am a writer, and I will write about books and writing because that is something I love, but I will also write about the things in my soul, no matter how unrelated they might be. And I hope to reach you with them. I hope that in some small way, I will be able to stretch across the time and distance and touch you with the words I have to speak. 

Because that is my greatest dream.

So I hope you’ll stick around and stay awhile.

Speaking of which, here’s a question for the week: which are you, a writer or a reader? Or both? Or something else entirely?
