Revisiting This Thing....

The last few days I've been thinking a lot about this old blog.  Writing everyday has made me aware of a few things: one, that I miss it, and two, that I have so little time now to actually write in it.  Which would account for the lame-o posts the last week or so, not counting the lovely Erika's interview yesterday.  I got my questions from my interviewer, the equally lovely, unequivocally insightful and super dedicated Deb over at Jane Poet.  Wow! she dug deep and braved the entirety of my archives.  That is some serious dedication to her task.  She sought to know the subject and know it well.  Her questions were like a walk down memory lane.  She had me rereading posts I'd long forgotten.  She had me laughing at myself all over again.  

And, she had me thinking about why I do this thing and more importantly, why I haven't given it up.  I guess - and this is hard for me to admit - that I do actually like writing.  I just have trouble believing I should be writing.  I don't count myself smart enough, witty enough, or nearly talented enough to be doing this.  And yet I do love the words.   In the end it's very much about the words.  

So I guess what I'm saying is that I am recommitting to writing here.  And not just whiney posts about how I never write anything.  I miss this place. 

And I miss the process of finding my voice.

Hey, guess what?  See you tomorrow.

I LOVE that you love to write and it makes me sad that you don't believe yourself a writer. My sweet friend, you are an amazing writer! I am thoroughly and wonderfully challenged some days, and laughing my butt off on others. Even your whiney posts are good b/c that keeps you real.
I am so glad you are back...keep 'em coming!

Oh, I love you sister. AND I miss you. AND I don't know what I would do without you!

I'll keep writing. It is good for me - I know because sometimes it feels like exercise.

I second that! I love reading everything you write, and look forward to checking every day. You make me laugh, you make me cry, and you make me think. AND, you are not only a writer but a GIFTED one. Sometimes we don't realize how we feel about something until it is articulated by someone else. You do that.

Thank you Courtnay. Thank you for YOUR words too. Words of affirmation, of encouragement, words of unconditional friendship. I treasure them.

I'm so happy to hear (well, see ;)) you say that, I really missed your blogging before! Other than that, I don't think I can add much that hasn't already been said by the above, and I'm in full agreement with them both. Keep writing, I'll keep reading!

Ah sweet Zephie, thank you so much! You guys are fuelling me to keep going. And it is good for me.
