A blog... meh...

Seems this is the thing to do... so here I am, quite a few years behind the times.

I have a LiveJournal account out there somewhere, but it has been over a year since I posted to it. I wonder if this blog will be as short lived.

I'm horrible at maintaining any practice on a regular basis. I'll get into something for a while, and then find other interests and move on. I started journaling last year and did it quite regularly for aobut six months... and now... never touch it.

I think writing in particular is mood based. I've always been stimulated to write when upset or troubled or angsty about life. Being in a good mood just kills the creative juices. I want to just enjoy life... not write about it.

So this is an experiement of sorts. Can I write about stuff when I'm happy? (And I am happy! I like being happy!) Can I just make myself put words on the page as a comfortable practice and not a therapeutic activity?

Hmmm... I guess I'll find out.

Thanks Nicole, for pushing me to do this.
