The beginning...

Well, here we go. I'm not sure that I even have anything worthy of a blog, but I'm going to give it a shot. There was a time in my life when I loved to write, and even found it therapeutic; I wrote stories, songs, poems, and was an avid journalist. As life became increasingly hectic, my writing for pleasure simply vanished. I'm hoping that the flexibility of a blog might allow me to get back to writing. My major obstacle is going to be, no doubt, that I am an English teacher by profession. I'm going to have a difficult time making it through a post without editing and revising it multiple times. I'm going to TRY to relax and approach this blog informally. If I can't do that, this blog may not survive very long, as it will become more of a chore than an outlet. Only time will tell!
