So, here we are, almost two months after beginning this blog and I’ve already forgotten it.  Way to go, me!

Actually, that’s not quite what happened, but I guess it all comes down to the same thing: I haven’t updated my little corner of the web for a long time.  I have had some ideas and actually wrote them out, but I never posted them.  Instead, I let them sit while I thought it over.  Now they’re in the recycle pile, ready to go out.  I won’t publish them.  Why not?  Because they really weren’t the type of writing I want to represent me.  They were written in a really snarky tone.  That was bad enough, but then they were also profanity laden. That’s not really who I am.  At times, yes, but not always.  And while I will have some sarcastic comments here, I really don’t want to make entire posts that way.  The more I thought about them, the less I liked them. I want everyone to be comfortable reading my words (or at least a good majority).  The sarcasm and profanity are just not needed.

So what about my second sentence up there?  It’s one sentence, and it’s directed inward, and not at anyone else.  I’m fine with that.  So, after a lot of thought about those posts, out of my notebook they came and straight into the recycling bag they went.  I write out everything with pencil and paper because that is part of the process for me.

Anyway, besides those posts that are now gone, I have just a few more details to add to this site.

I need a picture of myself and an “about me” section.  Neither of those things should be difficult, but I hate cameras when I am the subject of the picture, and I hate trying to define who I am.  So, I procrastinate.  I have asked for help on the “about me” section, but my questions are usually answer with blank looks and generic answers of, “Well, you’re you,” or, “I got nothing.  Sorry, I can’t help.”

I have decided to put more energy and time into my writing now that the busy holiday time is over.  I have a few ideas simmering for this blog, some research to do for a short story, and a lot of work to get done on a longer fiction piece.  My goal is to take time to write every day in some form and post here at least twice a week if not more often.

So, that said, here’s to keeping up and getting into a writing schedule!
