Welcome to The Old Curiosity Blog!
The idea to start a blog came to me whilst suffering boredom
during my summer break from university and feeling a desire to start writing
again. Here I plan to discuss what attracts my curiosity (Get it? Curiosity.
Look at the title. Look!) This is a chance to
write about the things I love - and what could be a better respite during my hiatus
from university?!
So what makes me curious? Initially, I wanted this to solely
focus on the books I read and my opinions of them, lending from the fact I am
currently studying English at university and that much of my time and focus
centres on literature. But, I have a feeling some of my other passions, like
music, film and television, may get in the way here - forcing my blog in
multiple possible directions. Therefore, prepare for a blog featuring reviews of all that I may metaphorically bump into in the entertainment, arts and cultural world.
But who am I (if you’re curious to know)? As you’ve probably
already gathered, I am currently a university student. I am leading a transient
lifestyle between home comforts on the Herts-Essex border and studying
further north during term time. I have always been passionate about writing, but having fallen
out of love with it over the last couple of years, I saw blogging as the
perfect opportunity to renew a long lost friendship with the keyboard.
So, here’s to a future of blog posts hopefully not
completely filled with nonsense and rambling. I hope you like what you find.
