Here we are! The moment you’ve all been waiting for – a glimpse into the mind of Tim O’Dwyer (who?!).
I’ve held off from one of these for quite some time. Mostly down to laziness admittedly, but also the notion of blogging as a whole generally leaves me slightly disillusioned. The ‘come and listen to all these amazing things I’ve got to say’ mindset really isn’t me – I’ll leave that to the travel bloggers (ooh he’s started early!). The amount of blatant ulterior motives is also a little disheartening. There’s only so many badly integrated links for cheap flights you can overlook before it becomes a bit tiring. I’ll leave it up to you to decipher whether or not that one was paid…
Alas, my motive here is by no means beyond what is obvious or admitted. Simply an excuse to get me writing. An online notepad if you would. And if anyone should actually read this – well that’s just a slightly embarrassing bonus I guess.

I want to start blogging for the same reason as you. I want to get started writing. I love to write and yet I don’t. I don’t care if anyone reads my blog. I’m doing it just for me to read. Like you, if someone should actually read my blog it would be nice to think my words have touched someone or that someone actually felt like I did at some point in their lives.
-Thanks for the comment. Let’s agree to read each others posts from now on then eh?!
I think everything is best if you do it primarily for yourself. Like you said, appreciation and recognition are always just a bonus!
Absolutely – it took me a little too long to realise this!
