The only place to begin is at the beginning, right?  I guess I should introduce myself then.

Who am I?

Some of you will already know who I am.  For those that don’t know me. all you really need to know is that I’m female, I’m 22, I’m Asian, I’m Scottish, I’m Muslim.  Most of my friends call me Rai, so that’s what I’ll go by on this.

The purpose of this blog?

Writing.

To explore the dual nature of the world I live in.  I’m sure many of you would have felt torn between a number of worlds/options/cultures/’insert your own issue here’.  I guess you could say that’s the story of my life.  The constant question of who I am, how do I define myself?  Do I need to define myself?  Can I be more than just Scottish  or Asian or Muslim? Can I be all three?  The name of this domain is coincidental, it was actually a domain name I’ve had for a couple of years now and decided to make use of by setting up this blog (after encouragement from a close friend).

What can you expect?

Honestly?  I can’t predict what I’m going to write about.  I can guarantee that much of my emphasis will be on writing.  On the process of writing a novel from inspiration to writers block.  Reviews of other books, movies.  Stories that I’ve written.  Stories that my grandparents and parents have told me.

Hopefully some of you will stick with me as I figure out what I’m going to do with this blog.  Comment are always welcome and if you have questions then just leave them in comments.  And with that I shall end the dreaded first post.
