So much for answering my craving to write...I forgot I started this blog. Recently I find myself leaving long, long posts on Facebook and decided that a blog would allow me the space and allow others the choice of reading what I write. I will post the link for this blog. Anyone who wants to read it will and those who don't will not. My main goal is to write regularly. I do want to do more than write for the sake of it and practice is a key component. This blog will give me a sense of others reading what I write even if they don't and maybe, at this point in my life, develp a commitment from me. I mentioned wanting to be a writer to someone I respect a number of years ago and her only comment was, "It is really hard work." True to my alcoholic personality I took the comment personally and have pouted about it ever since that time. As a result this woman is doing quite well with her writing career and I am just released from using my pout as a reason to avoid writing. Silly woman! Silly, silly woman! Thank goodness she did not say breathing was difficult. I would have died by now! Scott Peck began his book, "Life is difficult!" I nodded as if my wisdom fully grasped that sentence and held my head a little higher. When a friend told me writing was hard work I walked away, shoulders down, ego deflated and used that one sentence to explain my lack of commitment to writing.
It is what it is..."Bloom Where You Are Planted." Oh how I use to hate that little phrase! How trite, I thought, smugly blowing off one of the most sensible phrases I have ever heard. Today I am blooming where I am planted. Writing is part of the blooming! If you are reading...cool! I'm writing and it is hard work. DRAT!!
