Let’s get this first post out of the way. The block of that every writer faces… Daily I come up with things I want to say and write about and never get around to it and when I finally sit with a blank page….nothing…nada. It’s crickets.

So if I start by just letting this first post be bullshit and not anything even within the realm of perfection or even readability, it’s still progress, right? At least I’ve gotten something down on the page. I’ve gotten the forum started, so that when something I want to blog about comes up, then its all ready to go.

I feel an internal pressure to write Maya Angelou level prose on my first attempt and know that I setting myself up to fail, so I’m changing the rules. The success is getting words on a page. Nothing perfect. Nothing beautiful. Not even poetic or inspiring. Just words. Simple basic words that string together one after the next to take up space.

Lookie there. So successful. I am like actually a super star level at taking up space on a page. ….And …you are the best readers ever already. I can imagine you there. Laughing, crying, sharing our experiences. We are going to be besties, I feel it.
