myoptiblog

So, I was sitting here thinking about how I was going to kick this blog off and I must have tried writing the opening entry at least three or four times. I imagine most, if not all writers find a blank screen empties the mind; the ideas of many days suddenly sucked away by the glaring white of nothingness.

I think where I was going wrong is that I was trying to post some kind of welcome message; an announcement of the myoptiblog, fanfare and all. After a good twenty minutes head-scratching, I gave up on this idea and decided instead to dive straight in with some proper content.

As I was writing the above preamble to my first post proper, I noticed that it was suspiciously starting to look like an introduction - the slight whiff of irony was not lost on me. Perhaps after this small victory I should quit while I’m ahead.

Welcome to the myoptiblog (there, I said it).
