Well its been a while since I wrote on this blog. And I hate to admit it, but this always happens. It's like a common thing with me, which is a fact that I hate. I get an idea to do something - like write this blog- and then it slowly fizzles out because I get distracted by something else going on in my life. Or laziness will become a factor. A lot of laziness if I'm being completely honest.But I really love this blog, and I really love writing on here. I find it's a way to get my thoughts out or to keep myself motivated with goals.I will admit that I did want this blog to take off. Into what? I didn't know. I just kept thinking wouldn't it be awesome if I had people who were interested in the things I did and would want to follow my blog and then I realized a few things.
1. No one really cares what I do. And I'm not saying that in a "Oh golly gee everyone hates me and no one cares what I do." I'm saying it in a "No one cares cause I don't do anything spectacular or different." I mean I don't even think my family reads this.
2. I don't post nearly enough to garner (is that even the right word? or the right spelling?) an audience who would want to follow my blog. So really should I be surprised I have no followers.
3. This started out as something I wanted to do for me. A place to show off my talents and screw it if I don't have an audience. So what if the only people who read it are my husband, because I ask him to edit my work, and myself. I have a feeling that's my core audience. LOL. And if for some reason you actually are reading this and I've excluded you then I'm sorry and please continue to read my stuff. Leave a message and we can chat, and then I will know there are more people out there who actually like what I do.
Anyway I've recently been writing a bit more and to be honest I'm actually enjoying it. A Lot. More then I thought I would. I'm currently working on a novel that has been in my head for a while. Richard started a little writing group which I joined and while I'm only in my third chapter, I'm thinking to myself,
WOW I'm in a third chapter of a novel I'm writing.
**Que Happy Dance**
And I've been getting a lot of compliments on it from people I've asked to read it. Plus those people are asking for the next chapters because they actually want to know what happens. Which got me thinking more about this blog.
So I'm going to set a couple of goals for myself. I really want to write weekly posts even if its something small that's happened. I'm hoping it will keep me motivated to continue to write, and goals are always good to have I think. I'm a notorious list maker so this is just something else to add to the list.
So here's hoping my laziness and life doesn't become to much of a problem and I can keep my goals and my writing a priority in my life. Also if you have been reading my posts thanks for sticking around, and I hope to continue to entertain you. :)
