Getting creative

Help! I am going online!
OK! My condition is not all that pathetic. Its just that I am trying out something new and I don't know the hows and whys of what I am doing. (Not to mention the whens and wheres and whats).
This is going to be a tremendous task and I don't know how long my enthusiasm will last.

I was just wondering what it takes to be a blogger. Do I have to be a sentimentalist or an intellectual?... or.... do I need to have very strong opinions about some burning issues?.... or.... do I need to have a caustic wit to keep everyone captivated?
Good Lord! I don't think I have all these qualities.
I think I should just be ME. (however boring that may be)

A question that is bothering me is that why have I suddenly taken to blogging?
Is it because I have a hidden desire to express myself? But I do express myself loudly and clearly enough. Sometimes even if it is unnecessary :)
Maybe I want to unleash my creativity. Aah... that sounds good.

So, 2 things taken care of:
1. Starting a blog.
2. Convincing myself that it was necessary.

Now, let me get to the next challenge... finding topics to write about.
You know, if you tell me pen my thoughts I can do that well. But the real trick is finding a proper heading or subject. An article needs a heading, right? ........... even if one cannot make the heads or tails out of it  :)
Actually, I have to think of a subject/heading everytime to appease a certain segment of readers. Especially so, because my readers are going to comprise of that segment only and I don't want to annoy them.

So, wish me luck as I set my sails and start on a new journey.
Hoping to dust off the rust very soon :)
