WHO I AM AND WHY I AM HERE

This post is part  of the blogging 101 assignment that we have to do, Adel Landman Steyn gave me some  advice that I should post the original content on my blog because it’s a great way to direct traffic to my blog. 

Welcome seems like a proper way to an introductory, its a way of making you “the reader” feel at home with my blog.

I’m Megene Setwaba, a 17 year old high school student from South Africa. It has always been a dream of mine to start my own blog for awhile now but I was just not confident enough to go through with it. I tend to be loud and a little bit annoying sometimes but it all comes from a good place. I am really into computers and reading. Reading is place for me where I get to escape from the world and just be alone with my books. I’m not much of an outdoor type of person, I pretty much stay indoors most of the time. I’m very much opinionated and I don’t beat around the bushes when I have something to say. I tend to have a temper sometimes when pushed to the limit but other than that I’m pretty much a really nice person with a big heart who smiles a lot. I really love talking to myself a lot, my family thinks I’m crazy for doing it that but really I see no problem with a person talking by themselves. Its quite refreshing for me. If I were to describe me it would be; I’m cute with a capital “C”, confident, determined,shy and last of all happy.

“MEGENEWS” is the name of my blog, the name just kinda popped in my head and I chose go along with it. I started a blog because I have a lot of thoughts and opinions that I feel need to be shared and heard by the world. Plus like I said it has always been a really big dream of mine to have a blog, a place where I can write about everything I experience daily. I want my blog to be a blog for everyone because I don’t really have a target market in mind. I just want everyone to enjoy and see my point of view on things in general. I know I am still an amateur on writing hopefully I get good at it and my blog expands to greater sites. If my blog is to be successful throughout the entire year I hope that it gets pressed on wordpress and some what get a blogging recognition award if there is such a thing like that and have many followers following my blog, that would be my greatest accomplishment.

Confident writing through my eyes 

Finding My Voice

WELCOME! Seems like an appropriate thing to say on your first blog post don’t you think? I have been waiting like forever for this moment, a moment when I get to write and voice my opinions. At this precise moment a lot of thoughts are going through my mind; are they gonna like my method of writing or will they just think I’m some armature wanna be “writer”! Well I will have to wait and see how it turns out. I’ve been wrecking my brain for the past 30 minutes or so, thinking of what to say. I never thought expressing myself in a blog can be this nerve wrecking. Writing has also been a passion of mine but I never had the guts to have a blog, until last year when a close friend of mine passed away, that’s when I realized how short life is. So here I am trying to achieve my dream hopefully I don’t give up half way.  

A little bit about what kind of person I am.

I’m cute and tend to be a little on the annoying side but hey it all comes from a good place. And no I’m not snobby, since annoying tends to go in hand with snobby and cute girls I think? I am a bubbly person who is sometimes full of humor. I come from a rainbow nation which is South Africa and I’m proud to be South African. If you want to know more about me please visit the about page.

My blog is a blog for everyone because it basically is about expressing everyday life things. This blog is meant for me to share my opinions. It’s not a form of attack, it’s only merely me stating the obvious.

Here is to finding my voice as a writer.
