Rudiecantfail’s Weblog

Hey,

My name is Sean. I am currently an English Major at Kennesaw State University and really enjoy it. I will graduating next Spring 2009, unless I have to keep taking Brit Lit 1660 – Present. Its not that I don’t enjoy British Literature –because I do– but its just really hard. I do, however, favor American Literature just a little more, but that is a whole other story… Needless to say, I do enjoy the literature part of my major. The other part of my major is the writing part, which is why I am here. I also enjoy this part of the major. I am currently enrolled in a Careers in Writing course that focuses on….well….careers in writing. An aspect of the course consists of keeping a blog. The great part of the assignment is that we are allowed to keep our blog on anything we want to. I chose to do mine on music. Music consumes nearly all of my time (outside of school, of course), and nearly all of my money is spent on something musical as well. I could probably say I am addicted. Anyway, It is on the topic of music that I will ruminate in this blog.

When I graduate I hope to get a job in writing. A job working for a magazine like Paste or Rolling Stone (certainly Paste over Rolling Stone, though. No offense Rolling Stone) would be excellent, but I need quite a bit of practice before I get to that point. In a way, I guess this blog is practice for something like that. I can write an essay like nobody’s business, but I have never really had much experience writing anything else. I am still kind of in “essay mode” right now and I am trying to find my voice as a blogger and writer, not just an essayist. With this in mind, I really look forward to writing differently for a change. Although blogs look easy, I expect some difficulty.  I hope you read and enjoy it. Please let me know what you think! Feedback, whatever it is, would be great. Criticism on my writing is certainly welcome, and comments about the content would be great.

Hope to hear from you,

Sean
