intentions

Well, I suppose this is as good a start as any. Here I am. 38 years old. Loved writing as long as I can remember and haven't has the courage to stick with anything tangible in at least a decade. I could go on to blame career choices or marriage choices or children, but none of that is why. I could site the numerous times I have put the needs of the people identified with those items before my own, but that's not exactly true either. I think it has to do with the fact that as writers, we tend to spend time observing the pursuits of those around us instead of jumping in there and getting dirty. So this is me, getting dirty. My hopes for 2013 are to write something every single day on here. This exercise will undoubtably refresh my skills for written communications outside of emails and texting. However, I hope that it will inspire me to put more of myself out there and do something for me each and every day. I've become a stereo-type of sorts for my demographic and it's just not a place I want to be. I know there's more to me than "pins" and status updates. More to me than mini vans and trips to Target. It's in there. I know it is.
