Ahh the first post...the pressure....all the expectations....where do I start. In every journal I've ever had I've always left the first few pages blank to avoid the first post jitters. Something about the permanence of it that instantly inspires writer's block. It's almost as if the tone of every future post is concretely set by the first, which in my opinion is entirely too much pressure!! What if the first post is outrageously hilarious? It would only be natural that the expectations would then be set that every post there after would also be equally funny. Not being one to disappoint I usually solve this first post predicament by the blank page solution(my logic being that I can always go back and add a first post once the tone has been established......although I suppose it wouldn't technically even be the first post since it would be written well after other posts but you get the point) however since this medium does not permit the use of the blank page solution it seems that the only appropriate course of action is to ramble aimlessly about the first post itself, in turn completely negating any need for actual content and totally avoiding setting any sort of tone which might possibly be deviated from in future posts. Pure genius!!
