Now You Know

So...I've been writing. Not just here, but other things.

I've been very careful with my dream, but I feel ready to share it. I'd love to be a writer. To have a book published. To do that job every day. That sounds just about perfect.

And I have some great ideas. At least I think they're great. So, for a while now, I've been jotting down my ideas whenever I have them. And now and then, I'd sit and write for a time.

But I have a fairly large family -- a husband and three children. I have a full-time job. I commute about 2 - 2 1/2 hours a day. And my husband and I (and the children at various times) do things together: we have television series we follow, we love comedy, we watch a lot of movies, we go out to dinner now and then, we do things on the weekend. Plus I read, like A LOT. So spare time is not exactly overflowing.

However, the time has come to stop dithering. It's time to actually do something.

Writers write.

So I've been writing here, on my blog, everyday unless there's a big reason not to (Yesterday was a big emotional upset, but we'll gloss over that for now.). And I've also been writing regularly on another project.

I've committed to doing this. I've also committed to working on and completing a single project. (which has been one of my issues -- too many ideas, and too little completion!)

So, I'm sharing with you that I'm working daily on my current project. My time is precious and limited, so it's not as much as I'd like to be doing, but it's consistent. And eventually, I will have completed a book.

Now how good that book turns out to be, we'll have to see.

But I WILL FINISH.

I am determined.

And now you know.
