{ the ten steps that brought me here }

So here is the gist of this online diary:

1. I am a writer who in all actuality writes very little.

2. I have always dreamed of writing a book.

3. Many things and people in my life have changed so drastically in the past year or two.

4. Sometimes these changes make me feel small, scared, and depressed.

5. That is not how I want to live my life.

6. I am, therefore, striving from here on out to live more fully.

7. Living more fully in my mind includes not going back to college this fall, writing a novel, and learning to do the dishes before all the cereal bowls are dirty and I have to eat my Cocoa Pebbles out of a plastic Tupperware dish.

8. There are also more serious subjects on which I am sure I will eventually give a lengthy discourse.

9. I am a horribly lazy person who procrastinates even the most wonderful things in life.

10. This blog will be a place where I can be creative, be accountable to someone (something?), and most importantly be honest.
