Most of the post categories on this blog tend to be pretty straight forward. The title says it all, and if that’s not the case for you, chances are you are better off skipping those areas anyway. In that regard, the Aspirations section is a bit different.

In ‘Aspirations’ I write scraps of thoughts using a more unique and creative method. The entries are designed to give a story like feel opposed to the journal feel experienced throughout other areas of the blog. The category name refers to my aspiration of someday getting published; Not with the content in the section, but in general. I look at it as my training ground.

One important aspect of the category is that I try to limit myself to 15 minutes per entry, with few or no edits afterwards. I’m a perfectionist in many ways, and imagination and perfectionism are bad neighbours. As such, I force myself to paint a picture with limited words, without idea confining detail. The goal is not to present you with a finished story of my thoughts, but to simply get your imagination going into conjuring something that speaks to you, the reader.

I hope you enjoy my take at this venue of expression. If not, there are always the other sections. :)
