Getting Started with Blogging

I welcome myself to the world of blogging! Have been thinking of getting onto this bandwagon for quite sometime. There is no purpose behind this thought as such. This is just my way of exploring my passion for the language - English. Blogging has caught up in a big way with all, who are interested in expressing themselves through words, and I am another addition to that(another brick in the wall). I find blogging one of the most innovative and convenient mode of expression that is available at any body's disposal, who cares to utilize it. I have just started with my exploration and sure am full of anticipation as to what is in store for me as I go along.
Its so strange that though the "blogging" bug has bitten so many all over the world the word "blogging" is still awaiting to be given the status of an English word and get imbibed into the Englishman's dictionary and thus attain its due place in the world of Bristish English. I hope that it is not long before that blogging attains this glory.
Though English is not officially my mother tongue but it has become so unofficially. From childhood I had a strong liking towards it. I have always been an avid reader. If I had my way I would have studied this subject in depth and majored in it. Though I haven't, still aspire to do so someday. I am absolutely fascinated and amazed as to how authors/writers are able to churn out so much of cohesive chains of thoughts and fill pages after pages. They are the people whom I revere the most. For me writing is the crest of all creativity. I want to discover whether the flare for writing is an attribute of nature or nurture. So I guess I do have a purpose behind blogging, after all. Through this medium I have thus started on the quest to discover whether I have it in me what it takes to become a writer or not.
