Why a Blog and Why Now?

Well...I’m really not much of a follower, in fact, I’m more of a rebeller against the popular, however....I have this book inside me.  Which now that it’s put out there like that it totally conjures images of this little tiny book embryo tucked away in my mental womb...I digress.  I really love to write and to read and have had a lot of interesting and dramatic experiences, as well as some that aren’t so much that are begging to be written about and not just shared in a snippet on face book or in conversation with a friend or even just horded away in my memory.  I also want to stretch my writers legs, and I know I’m not going to do it hand writing in a journal, nor am I going to keep some obscure file on my computer and journal away...I need some accountability and some sort of deadline...thus the blog. 

Not to mention, I’m interested to see if anyone will read what I have to say.  I mean...I religiously follow some blogs, but I mean...they are for crafting or for couponing (yeah we’ll talk about that later) and let’s face it...if they go off on some random diatribe that I don’t care about I navigate away.  So I’m kinda planning to see if I can get followers by word of mouth and other than one or two people...not say anything about my blog for a while...we’ll see how long that works.

So in setting some ground rules so you know what to expect, oh one single follower (thanks Tara), I LURVE stream of consciousness writing, which I affectionately call brain vomit.  You will be seeing lots of it here, though I promise to make it interesting and as non icky as possible.  My degree is in English but I can’t spell to save my life so I won’t judge you, you don’t judge me, but I will spell check as often as I remember!  Also this means that I’m VERY verbose, use big words, and have massive sentences with elaborate punctuation...it’s kinda like jewelry, sue me.  Sometimes my posts will be things that have happened in the past that I need to get on record and some things will be current. 

I’m really excited. . .Ultimately you are wondering what this will be about..... It’s about my journey...I started out running away from being a small town Southern girl to embracing it now that I’m older...I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
