My Reasoning

So, if you're reading this, you might want to know the reasons that I'm starting a blog. Of course, I don't expect that anyone actually is reading this, but just in case you happen to wonder.

Reason number 1: Uncle John told me to
Reason number 2: I'm hoping that any feedback I receive will help encourage me to write more.
Reason number 3: I'm on a mission. This mission is to one day have my name published on thousands of copies of something I have written, and have actual people read and enjoy what is behind my name. (Uh.. *nervous chuckle* preferably before college, because I don't actually want to make writing my career. I was hoping that maybe I could get published as a teenager? Yeah, didn't think it was possible either, but a girl can try.) I know what you're thinking: every teenage girl and their sister think they can write a book nowadays. There are plenty of talented young authors who probably have more talent than I, and still have about a 1 in a million chance of being published. Like I previously mentioned, a girl can hope.

About the Title:
Yeah, you might have wondered what the whole "One Day You'll See the J" thing is about. Well, ever since the first time someone told me that I was a talented writer, I have decided that any peice of literary work I am proud of will sport the name "Taylor J. Gray." One day, should I ever be published, you'll get to see the J. Otherwise, I'll just remain Taylor Gray.

The Purpose:
So, if you have survived the previous two paragraphs, you might be wondering what the purpose of this blog is... well, I'm not exactly sure myself. Basically, I've decided to post some of my writing here and see what feedback I can receive from my friends/family/anyone who wants to bother reading these. I don't know... maybe if I start recording all my ideas somewhere instead of keeping them locked in my mind, then I might be one step closer to achieving my goal.
