A New Sort of Adventure

I began blogging a little more than a year ago.  I guess you would say my other site, A New Frame of Reference, is a lifestyle blog.  My lifestyle, slowly being redefined through less clutter, chaos, and consumerism and commercialism. With this blog, I hope to unleash my alter ego, that of creative writer.  As many young girls, I did a lot of creative writing in my teen, tweens and very young adult life.  I wrote short stories, poems, song lyrics, and attempted  a short play once. Marriage, family, work, all took over the free time but thanks to some inspiring and motivating fellow bloggers, I am getting my muse back.  Feel free to weigh in on anything you read.  I'll try tackling whatever strikes my mood, but with hopes of improving my style, phrasing, grammar, and other essential elements of good writing.  As my comments say, you are welcome, but let's keep it constructive shall we?   

I'll use this blog to do my Rise and Write exercises, and some other word play. This is exciting and scary for me at the same time. I'll be turning 50 before the end of the year.  There are days I don't feel any older than that 16 year old curled up with a spiral notebook and a Bic pen scrolling out though t after thought, with a Coke by my side.  Now, it will be the corner of my living room chaise sofa and a good strong cup of coffee or glass of wine to get my juices going. 

Finally, I need to shout out to Natalia at her creative writing blog Out of the Writers Closet.  She has offered up her blog as a venue for writer-want- to-be's like me to share and learn from each other.
