Today I am officially starting or opening my blog. I’ve made feeble attempts in the past but with piss poor follow up, general lack of motivation and an overall sense of malaise on my part, it’s never really gone anywhere.
I have no real clue as to what I am doing or what sort of shape or form this may take. I have been intrigued by this process and have had several ideas over the years about what sort of themes my blog might tackle or attempt to, at least. I once started a blog about my reasons for giving up knitting due to the extreme stress I was experiencing…very tongue-in-cheek, yet heart felt with a bit of angst thrown in. It lasted a week or two…maybe less. Yeah..I have commitment issues. Buckets of them.
As I stated earlier, I’ve had lots of ideas over the years but I won’t give it all away in one fell swoop. Maybe I can surprise my readers (assuming I have any), even myself, with the debris of thoughts floating through my brain that somehow drips it’s way lusciously, ludicrously into print. I just know I need to write..something..anything. .it’s a muscle that has been underused for far too long and it’s aching to move..even just a little. .to flex and stretch and go. Just go.
So here I am and I am going to make an attempt once again. To unleash my thoughts, to go with the flow, trust the process, and just tell it like it is..well, like it is for me, anyway. It might be about anything or nothing at all…something simple or complex as hell…gut wrenching or hilarious..thought provoking or mindless dribble. Maybe all of those things at once. I imagine it will depend on my mood, the sort of day or week I’ve had, the weather, hormones, the state of the world, or God knows what.
But I will write..baby steps..once a week to start with. A commitment (dirty word) to creativity, authenticity, truth telling, and building mental muscle. Here I go. excuse the sweat.

Welcome to wordpress, Tanya! I’m happy to follow your blog journey (Denise Huntington)
Welcome to blog world!
Hey, cuz! Good for you! Even your stream-of-consciousness ramblings are well-written — yaw ra NYAT-cha-ral (how do you write out a Noo Yawk accent?? That was supposed to be “You’re a natural.”) I really like: “Yeah..I have commitment issues. Buckets of them.” Very pithy/punchy. I’ve been thinking of starting my own blog for reasons similar to yours — you’ve given me inspiration. Congrats and I eagerly look forward to all further entries.
