Bandwagon Blogging

This blog was an inspired idea. It came about after much deliberation. Ok, so really I am just copycatting once again, but I really don't care. After reading over the hilarity of my little sister's blog full of her random thoughts, and then enjoying the blog of my high school english teacher who's now a professional author, I decided I couldn't resist! My blogging about the good ole Abbey Inn days have been over for awhile, and I sure have dropped the ball on my marriage blog which got more and more boring by the minute...(kind of like my marriage... :-) just kidding!) So this will be my alternative outlet. I'm hoping to fashion it after my sister's idea of letting it all hang out. So here I go. This blog is by me, about me, for me. I'm not restricting myself to a format, which my highly organized personality will likely despise and fight at all costs, but that is just too detrimental to the journey I am embarking on. I am supposed to be writing for thirty minutes a day for my creative writing class at school, and if I were to receive an immediate grade, I would be failing miserably. The fact of the matter is, I just don't have time to write. My life has been consumed by the balance between school and work, husband and homework, teaching and keeping my house clean; It has been full of grad school applications and taking quiet moments to observe my new pet turtle Howard, who is the closest to a child I hope I get in the next few years. Oh, not to mention my months of overcoming my addiction to Dr. Pepper and replacing it with the guilty pleasure of watching "Bad Girls Club" on my nights off of work. :-) Yes, with all of that going on, there just has been no time to write. But enough about excuses. I'm getting my priorities straightened out and making a commitment. From here forth and forevermore (or at least until April 30), I promise to write thirty minutes everyday and post it via this blog for all the world to see. If I truly want to write my story and publish it in book form, I have got to polish up my writing skills and enhance my creative prowess. This writing class was supposed to help me do that, but for it to work, I have to work. So here I go...
