Who would have thought?

Who would have thought that I would be blogging? Certainly not me. Now here I sit with nothing to say. That is how all of my writing endeavors start. Then I will write something, read it, edit it, read it again, edit again, and on and on until all I have is one paragraph that has been edited to within a inch of it's pathetic life. Recently a job counseler recommended that I read "Writing Down the Bones". I have been selling it for years at Bookends but never read it. She said it would help me get beyond the first paragraph by just suggesting that one sit and write with any care to editing or even correctly typos, a steady stream of writing. So far so good. Okay, I must admit I have stopped to correct typos and even changed a few words as I went along, but at least I didn't stop to re-read any of it. I don't know if this is the best way to start a blog, but hey, I have written more than I would have if I planned it.

My bedroom door just opened and then shut. I thought my sister was coming out to say something, but I think she just shoved the cat out here. Oh yes, here is the brat. His name is Shady and he will probably be featured regularly in my new blog. He is now chasing a twistie tie around the floor. I know why she shoved him out here. He is probably driving her crazy.

I think is a good start for my first entry. I better find out what the next step is to get this entry into my blog. Wish me luck.
