For Starters

A friend of mine told me about "blogging"; I had no idea what he was talking about. In fact, upon suggesting it, I kind of laughed at him & then disregarded it. However, for those of you who know me, you know i've been on a sort of personal journey to "find myself"....creatively, as a person, as an individual. I've always been a creative soul, & seem to flourish only when I'm "creating", but for a very long time, I'd turned myself off. I lost something, & thought I'd never find it again. No more.



The biggest thing for me as of late is that I've started writing again. More than ever actually. I've been writing my very first novel with a close friend of mine, & it's been quite an adventure. Quite an opportunity, a life changing event if you will; it's changed my perspective on things, & opened my eyes quite a bit. The biggest thing is that not only do I think maybe I've started to find--for the first time ever--in 28 years--some semblance of a path--but my creative juices are flowing. I'm writing constantly; I want to write. It's no longer an effort.



Throughout my life, I've almost always kept a journal of some sort. & it's always been a very private thing. For me, this is a way to keep writing, & get myself more comfortable with the idea of being read. I've always thought "Who wants to read what I have to say?" Someone has convinced me otherwise, so lets see where we end up shall we?



So, these are my personal thoughts, writings, opinions, rants....I'm doing this mainly for myself--to unleash myself upon the world, & to invade this strange place we all know as the internet, which has oddly enough become a big part of my life as I use it to keep ties with friends both across the country & down the street.



Anyways--If you like what I have to say--feel free to join me & we'll see where the day takes us.
