On Writing
When I was very young, I was a voracious reader. Soon after I learned to read, I developed a passion for "creative writing" as it was called when I was in fourth grade. My teacher encouraged this and we even had books we made which contained our musings on various topics assigned.
In middle school and high school, I journaled, in notebooks I stashed between the mattress and box spring of my bed. As I think back on it now, I know that I chronicled a fair amount of conflict. At some point when I went away to college, I celebrated a feeling of freedom by throwing them all out.
I never wrote in that way again.
Until now.
I have friends who write professionally and friends who blog. I have been very impressed when I read things my friends have written. And yet, the notion of putting my thoughts into words has intimidated me, although as a lawyer, I have to do it for a living.
It was suggested to me that a blog might serve as a vehicle for expressing myself on the written page.
I guess we'll see how this turns out......
