How Do I Do This?

I'm starting. That's all.

I don't know what else will come. There's likely thousands of abandoned blogs here, much like the "Dear Diaries" many of us started as children. And I'm likely one of hundreds who has made that comparison here.

All I know is what has been nagging at me for months:  "Write"

I won't be doing writing groups or workshops like another woman I know - taking writing trips to Europe, journaling my journey through cathedrals and cemeteries and castles with peers and a mentor.

I will be changing diapers. I will be avoiding the vacuum. and the treadmill.

I will be daydreaming in my office of a life outside that office: more time with my children, more time to play. (all selfish things, really)

I will put words out into cyberspace for as long as "Write" feels right. It does for now, and that's what I'll go with. Maybe someone will find it interesting, if I have -- crassly put --- the balls to write about the actual interesting stuff. 

My life is ordinary, day to day. It's paying attention to the "extra" in the ordinary that makes it fascinating. 

(Fascinating to me, that is. Will anyone else find it terrifically fun that my 4-yr old just made up a song to tide him over in the car until we could get to a bathroom? Title: "Pee in ma' paaaants")

Join me in this if you'd like - I'd love the company.
