Getting Back Into the Swing of Things

Welcome one and all. You've stumbled upon my blog 2.0.

I had an "online journal" many years ago. I took great care in writing in it whenever possible, some times many times a day when posting quizes in your blog was trendy, and never failed to leave my readers without pictures if the story I was telling required them. Looking back on this "journal" I can't help but to laugh. And laugh hard. I apparently was a very whiny teenager and took my angst out on the online world. Oh my poor readers, I feel bad for them.

Now, this is not to say that this blog won't contain some complaining from time to time. Those of you who talk to me on a regular basis will be able to easily guess where my complaints will come from. But, this is not the time at place to talk about any of that. This is merely an introduction.

Welcome.

For today I don't have the time to shoot off into something deep and interesting to read. That's what the paper I have to write this evening is for. I can't promise this will be an interesting or insightfuly blog. It is simply here due to the realization that I miss having an outlet to spew thoughts and feelings on a page to get them out of the jumble of thoughts swirling through my mind.

So here's to you brave reader. Enjoy this blog for what it will be.

"We all start out with the same alphabet. We are all unique. Talent is not the most important thing --- discipline and dedication are. Craft can be learned but desire and longing are innate. Despite the demands of school and just being young, try to write SOMETHING every day --- a description, a captured emotion, a simile, a metaphor. Read, for crying out loud! A writer must read the way a ball player must go to the ballfield every day to practice. Everything is possible in this world of ours--- and so's publication. - Robert Cormier"
