Day Three-Yup, that's a wall.
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why is it so hard to write an "About Me"? Seriously, I spent over an hour last night, and almost two hours today just staring at my "About Me" page trying to figure out what to write. I don't know why this is so difficult.
It's so much easier to write about pretty much anything else. Want to hear my many thoughts about how awesome the Gilmore Girls reunion is? Want to hear about my new baby hedgehog? Want to hear about my addiction to McDonald's white chocolate mocha? Sure, here's a small novel the size of War and Peace (*grabs giant manuscript from desk and forces everyone to read it*)
I love writing. That's not the issue. I just don't know how to write this stupid About Me" section.

I think it's difficult because we have an innate desire to not be considered bragging or exaggerating. We also don't think that what we do/are is interesting to anyone else besides us. I hated writing my "about me" section here and on my website. Just remember, you can tweak/add/subtract/adjust later as many times as you want. Maybe try some free writing and see what happens?
Hi Malia, try not to over think it. Remember you can always augment your About Me page later. Have you settled on a niche yet? Why not write about why that is an interest to you? I think you actually may have a pretty good start on your About Me section here in this post. Something like:
"I'm Malia. I'm addicted to white chocolate mochas, am a writer, think the Gilmore Girls is an awesome show and have an adorable pet hedgehog."
You obviously write well. Just start writing. Easy for me to say, huh?
Good luck. If you want a critique or need some wordsmithing help, I'll be happy to take a peak at it for you.
