Day 2

I think I read that it takes doing something 21 times to make it a habit...so I here I am Day 2 of blogging.  It's amazing all the things you can find out here in 'blogger world'.  Everyone has a story.  Everyone has an opinion.  Everyone has a forum.  I guess the Internet has brought 'freedom of speech' to a level that our ancestors could not have begun to imagine or conceive.

And here I am....another woman, another wanna be writer...out here in 'la la land', hoping that I will get followers...yeah, I don't have any yet!  I guess I could announce it on my Facebook page or on twitter...or tell all my friends via email.  Instead, I'm going to just let it lie...see who comes across, see if anyone I don't already know, finds my blog and finds me of any interest.

I have found that writing is absolutely the best therapy for me.  Who knew?  I can think of a few...my mom for one.  She has always encouraged me to read and to write.  She always said I had a 'gift of gab'. Oh wait!  That has nothing to do with reading OR writing...that has to do with running my mouth about all things...things I know about, things I don't, people I know about, people I don't.  I have never been the kind of person that likes the sound of their own voice, and most of the time, I don't go back and read what I have written either.

Spell check is the most awesome tool EVER!  I just don't want to sound like a hick from the South.  Oh yeah...I don't think I've told you that.  I grew up in South Central Texas....for now, let's call it Joesville.  (No, there is no such thing as 'Joesville', so don't bother telling me that, please).

When I lived there, I hated it.  But looking back now, I'm grateful that I grew up there.  I hate to think how much wilder I would have been in a big city!  I was wild enough there!  But, it was a good place to grow up.  I see pictures and posts on Facebook from those who have stayed and are now raising their own kids there.  I think that is awesome.  It just wasn't for me.  I remember those years...I think it would be weird to run into someone I was so awful to as a teen in the grocery store.  I'm awful enough to people now!  hee hee

Okay...enough for today. 

I sent out some more Query Letters....nothing says LOSER like...Thanks but no Thanks.  I know it only takes one YES...so come on one YES! 

Until tomorrow....

Love and hugs,
