Could I be a writer?

September 17, 2012

Good afternoon!  First let me say "Happy Birthday" to my brother Steve, even though he'll probably never see this.  Happy Birthday just the same!

Last night when I went to bed, I lay awake thinking about why I started this blog.  It's not just because I love Pinterest (which I do), but more importantly, it may fulfill a dream of mine.  For those of you that know me, you know I was a pretty sick little kid with a heart condition.  I was in and out of Children's Hospital ALOT.
When I was maybe 9 years old, I got a little plastic typewriter as a gift. It was my intention then (at 9) to write a book.  I remember I practiced typing on it.  My sister interview  me using the typewriter. ( I still have that somewhere)  But I also remember that I had written a full 1/2 page of genius 9 year old thoughts that would become the beginning of my book.  Sadly, I do not have that and would give almost anything if I could read it again.  The typewriter has long since been gone, but my desire to write never really did.  I have always been fascinated with notebooks, journals and pens.  When I say that I love school supplies, believe me it is an understatement!

Anyway, last night I was excited about the possibility or writing.  Starting a journey, if you will.  I will probably write about life, my family and friends, recipes, crafts and general observations.  I will probably mention friends by name (first name only)  I hope that is o.k.  Maybe no one will ever read it.  Maybe they will.  I hope you come along with me on my journey.  Feel free to come with  me and comment when  you feel the need.  In the meantime, have a great night!
