Take me to your leader . . .

err . . . actually, on second thought, please don’t! I barely have enough hours in the day to get my work done, spend time with my family, and work on my writing pieces as it is – I swore I would never start a blog because it would be just one more thing hanging over my shoulders, making me feel guilty for not spending enough time and attention on it.

And yet here I am. Why? Because I spend so much time working and what little time I have left with my family that a month has gone by since I’ve written anything. My instructor for my writing class has now demanded that I get a blog. And that I write in it. Every DAY! Ahhhh.

What is this supposed to accomplish?

Quite a bit actually! First it will get me in the habit of writing every day. It will also give me the tools to work through writer’s block (haven’t had that happen yet but I guess you have to have a writing routine before you can realize you’re blocked). And the icing on the cake? Not only will I dutifully be honing my writing skills and training my body/brain that it needs to write every day but I will get to read what other people are thinking and maybe make a few friends. How great is that?

And so begins my journey into a new world (me, the one who didn’t know what a blog was up until this year and never had my own personal one before), into unchartered territory. All I can say is . . . I come in peace!
