Today isn’t anything special. It’s the first day of many Augusts I’ve lived through. It’s the day before I turn 44 years old. It’s a hot summer day like many we’ve had before. But what if I made it special?
What if I decide to mark this day in my life as a marker. A beginning of something new? Set it down for all (well, those that visit this site) to see… a statement of intent and purpose. Instead of a new year’s resolution, I think I’ll do it on my own terms. August is kinda special for me, so I’ll use that as my flag in the ground.
Guess I need a goal, then. Â Something I can actually achieve. As of this moment, I have two books, both written. One is requesting a new ending, but has been edited for the most part. The other… we won’t speak of that right now. My goal, before I reach the next August, will be to finish whatever needs to be done for those two books and publish them. I will also make my life completely unbearable and strive to write, edit, and publish a third book in that same time frame. And to be completely unforgiving to myself, I will make a blog post at least once every week during that year.
So there it is. My first blog post in these new (to me and you) digs, and I’ve already given myself a headache and made a groan escape my lips. I sound like a horrible person. But I’m not… not really. I’m lazy. I tend to be drawn to getting caught up in the drivel that is Facebook. I’ll watch YouTube videos until I’m falling asleep from lack of blood circulation. I’m hoping this helps.
Maybe I should welcome you to my little corner of the world. “Hey there.” *waves* I’m not sure what this blog will consist of, but reading this over, I’m going to assume it’ll be a lot of rambling. So, sit back… I hope you enjoy the things that trickle from my fingers, and if you do, pass the word along. This should be an exciting time.
