A little while ago I was keeping friends and family in the loop via a group email when a friend suggested to me that I blog as she so enjoyed reading my news. It's taken me a while but here I am...finally venturing out into the world of blogging! Not that I really have much to write about or that anyone out there in cyber space would really be interested. But here goes nothing.....
I have never been much of a writer. In saying that, I love to read and read anything I can lay my hands on. If I don't like what I'm reading, I close the book and promptly move onto the next book. I love and admire the ability of writers that make me laugh, cry and giggle while I am usually ensconced in my own cuddly bed. Books are pure escape for me. A safe haven of other peoples lives and experiences.
I have always had an innate fear of putting all my thoughts on paper because it's so "out there". There is something quite scary about putting all your intimate feelings about things onto paper (or in this instance onto the computer). I guess that's because sometimes I just don't want to share all the dirty laundry that goes on in my head with anyone except myself.
So today is quite a day. I have overcome a major hurdle in my head and started to write. I know I can. I've always known that. I just needed a little push which mainly came out of boredom but also because I am on a desperate quest to discover what I am truly passionate about in life so that I can make it into some kind of career and hopefully earn some money. How I got to this point is for another day, but today is the first day of the rest of my life!
