Always Late to the Party

This is my first attempt at blogging, and I'm happy to be here. Wondering as many seem to be, what I want to do when I, and we, grow up and I am no longer an always-needed mommy. The thing is, my boys are five and three-quarters and thirteen months—I've always been an advance-planner. My latest mind-meanders have led me to consider writing, more. As a book designer and sometimes editor, and bookaholic, I yearn to write rather than read. Yearn, as a word, covers so much doesn't it?

I've been reading blogs religiously for a couple of years, envying how bravely some communicate. And finally now, am ready to begin. I would imagine this will become more of a journal for me than anything else. Does everyone think this when they begin a blog?

Regardless, it becomes both an item to cross off my list and an item to add. I go from needing to start to needing to post. Why am I nervous?

because we are watching . . . just kidding. I'm actually responding to the top post about the thing with the book. I remembered reading "it" somewhere else and I found the post, but it seems to be a different, but similar, game. Anyway, good luck with the blog.

Hi, welcome to blogging. I've been using it to explore different areas of writing-see where interests truly are. I've met some wonderful friends through blogging and hope you find it fun and entertaining as well.
