Turning over a new leaf

Ah, the blank page. A blank page is worse or just as bad as a blank canvas. There are so many ideas swirling around, so many thoughts, jumping from one idea to the next, procrastination by indecision.

A blog is a funny thing. One places bits of the innermost thoughts of the mind and heart out into the void not knowing what will happen with the words that have flowed in the caverns of the spirit, to fingertips on keys, to a journal online.

This strange experiment I am endeavoring to begin again, hopefully with more maturity than in many years past when sometimes careless and vain words made their way onto these "pages". I am starting afresh. Why you ask? Well, I have recently been inspired by several friends who have done the same. Plus, I wish to improve my writing and this form will give me more accountability. Lastly, it has been something that has been pressing on my mind for quite awhile now and so much so that I would feel disobedient if I stalled any longer in writing it. I actually have a longer list of reasons why to not write a blog, but I shall save it for later and make this first post a short one so I don't start criticizing all that I have written so far and delete everything. Sigh.

Oh dear, so now I have really begun. I suppose I shall have to commit to it.

  1. Hooray! I'm so glad you're blogging. I love being able to read into people's minds this way... its strangely intimate and bizarrely vulnerable but so lovely and humbling at the same time to be able to feel a part of someone's life no matter the distance.
    Well Done! Can't wait to read more!
