I’ve been meaning to do this for awhile. Start a new blog. Get something going so that my creative juices will flow more freely. You’ve probably heard the story before. Since I was 12, I’ve desired to be a writer. I wrote books on tattered paper, ragged with strings of spiral bound fringe. I bound them with lace I found in my mom’s sewing closet or string I found lying around. I would arrange dolls along my purple bedspread and read to them for hours on end. I was addicted even at that early age to the creativity of words and ideas beautifully strung together on paper.
But, I grew up. And as things go, I had to make money. I pursued a career that I mildly enjoy, but writing has always loomed largely in my mind. I chose making money over being a starving artist. Starting this blog is just part of a plan I am concocting to push myself into the writing world. I hope to catalogue my attempts at being a writer. I’m holding myself to at least one post a week. Come on – a girl can’t pressure herself too much! Might as well start small.

Hello! Thanks for dropping by pendrifter and adding me to your blogroll; appreciate your nice comment! Don’t worry–soon enough, a book idea will grab you and you’ll be off and scribbling! d:)
