A Luddite Blogging

I have had at least five journals bestowed upon me as thoughtful gifts throughout the past few years.  After receiving the latest one from my mom with a very sweet inscription inside (sweet, but calling me out for my creative laziness...moms are professionals at doing this) for my birthday last year, I decided enough was enough.  It is time to dust off these cobwebs from this part of my brain and start writing again.  So, why the blog you ask?  Well, I have been told by a few people who do not know any better that they actually enjoy my writing. My mind does not work like most minds my age in the 21st century, though.  I need an extra step.  What I post here likely is in that journal from my mom in some form.  There is just something about the feeling of pressing pen to paper, and it seems to make my mind work better. I have taken a ridiculous amount of time to write this simple post and I type for a living.   Baby steps.   If you notice a lack of posts for several days and then poof...there are five up at one time, this is why.  Now, if you excuse me, I have to go switch from Side A to Side B on my cassette tape.
