I have been working and burning the midnight oil getting this blog together
on one of those blogging sites. I am in over my head but having fun.
I started it as a lark and it has kind of snowballed into an I don't know what.

I am supposed to have a theme and a focus, HA, That's a joke. That would
take the fun out of it. I am just going along and see what it morphs into.
I have put it together and torn it all up a couple of times. I am always
tinkering with it.

I am not the least bit technical but I am a quick learner, no matter
the subject and I have about figured it out. At least that part of it.
People here are very serious about their blogs, many work hard and
are professional and that shows.

Mine is pretty dorky. I know this. I figure I will get better at it. I've been
at it five/six days. Already my writing has improved and I'm getting more
productive. I am getting good practice at writing and that is what I want to
do; be a writer and so doing this is excellent practice.

I am also gettting in touch with some other writers there, especially one nice
lady who has been helping me with basics that I should know. I kind of fell into
this but I'm glad I did. I like to write but I am also visual and this blog is full of
visuals.
I have been taking pictures of my garden and puttting them on along with other
pics.For the last decade. I have been reading non- fiction books in a wealth of
subjects., writing poems and stories , I have been collecting strange facts and
not so strange.I am even a good cook and have written some of my own recipes,
( which are tasty , by the way) All my life I have been compelled to learn as much
as I can and now it seems that maybe some of all of that will be put to use.

I know this sounds stupid, but I want to someday, somehow help others with
my writing. I know I am not even close to whatever I need to be ,but I am
young and patient. I am willing to work hard, I will learn and improve.

I am excited at this new adventure, but I also have my doubts and fears
and have had some dark nights of the soul lately. I will rise above.
I just to have to keep at it.
