New Beginnings

Wow, this is so weird! I've been chomping at the bit all day to start my blog, and now that I'm sitting in front of the screen, I'm actually nervous! This whole blog thing is rather daunting...I mean, you're putting yourself out for the world to read! Who knows what might be said...who knows how you may react...who knows just what sorts of craziness will spew forth from these fingers??



People have been expressing their surprise that I hadn't yet started a blog for some time. I'd thought about it, and I figured people wouldn't really be big on reading one - rather, I should email everyone my long adventure stories so they become a captive audience. Who would remember to come back and read my blog on a regular basis? Likely no one. I know I'm not the type to frequent anyone's blog, so why should mine be any different? Still, as a quiet listener who doesn't really get her voice heard, I needed some sort of outlet. The thought that someone, somewhere, may be reading what I have to say is a huge help. I think I'm an interesting person with a wealth of thoughts and experiences, it's just that few people really listen. Plus, it would help if I could actually manage talk once in a while...hehe. But I'm a writer, and that is how I best express myself. Hopefully this blog will be an adequate medium for whatever I'm trying to say.



Speaking of writing, I would love to write professionally. I hope to update this blog regularly as my daily writing exercise. I have been pretty lazy about keeping up with it, so perhaps this will spur me on.



So yeah, it's about time this great listener was listened to...don't worry, though...I'll still send out my adventure emails, and perhaps post links to them on this site - they're likely too long to post as it is!



So welcome, and enjoy your stay!! Please come back often and post a comment, too!
