I haven’t written anything more than a shopping list or a thank you card in ages. I journaled on and off in high school and university, and then blogged for a while, and then took a break. I didn’t feel my blog had much of an audience, and life was busy and mostly good, and I lost the need for a creative outlet. That need is back.
The first journal entry (or these days, the first blog post) is always the hardest. I have so many ideas in my head clamouring for space on paper (or screen), but whichever I set out first will set the tone. And let’s face it, the first post on a new blog that no one knows about is probably never even going to be read (except, perhaps, but some purist who follows me in the future and feels the need to go back and make sure they read it all – if that is you, reading this now, thanks for caring enough!).
So this is my ice breaker. This is the end to my writer’s block. This is me starting something I’ve been meaning to do (and with a small baby, that is no mean feat).
I intend for this to be a very mixed blog – thoughts, opinions, anecdotes, book reviews. I hope you will find something interesting.
