My very first blog entry

Hi there!!!

I am not sure why I started blogging, but I just did. As soon as I hit "enter" or "post" depending on what this template says (I haven't checked the end of the page) I will become a blogger.

What am I trying to get out of this experiment?

I am trying to reclaim my creative writing. I love expressing myself and as I write here, now, I feel invigorated. I love it. I love to put in paper (or virtual matter) what I have to say. If someone reads it, awesome, if someone doesn't, then it is ok, too. I am blogging for me.

Circumstances have made me stop writing and I hate it. I am a good writer. I made a living writing for 17 years. Now I want to reclaim what is mine and this is the way to do it and to feel good about it.

This is not my journal, this is not my diary. This is not a space where I will write about what I did today and how much I love to "smell the roses". I want to share my views on life, on the things I like, I want to review books, comment baseball games, and share my opinion on current events. Hear what people have to say about my views. I am a journalist in my heart, I am a journalist by trade. I want to get back there. I already feel it. I am already excited.

I pray to the Good Lord that he will guide me so I can get what I need out of this experiment. I am still figuring out myself. He already knows it.

Lets blog away, then!!!

Wahoo!!!
