I have been putting my life out on the web for a number of years. I started blogging around 7 years ago as a way to get stuff out of my head. You know the kind of stuff I am talking about….those weird thoughts you aren’t comfortable talking to spouses or friends about. No, you would rather post them on line so that potentially thousands of people can see them and judge you.
But I kept going at it. Writing about the things that went on around me. Commenting on what I observed in the news, or in my family.
Yeah, that was the hardest part. Talking about friends and family without pissing them off. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t.
And then I started making money at it. Not huge amounts of money, but hey….in reality at that time any kind of extra money was amazing. And the best part was that I didn’t have a whole lot invested into it…..other than the potential of being totally ostracized by said family and friends.
And then it dried up. I just didn’t have the oomph in me any longer. The words didn’t flow, the ideas just were not there.
Fast forward to now. I am back. And this is fair warning. I am going to be writing about some of you. I promise to make you as vague (not saying that some of you are vague, but then again….) as possible. I have no intention of holding anyone, other than myself, out for public scrutiny. So just be prepared. And look at it this way….not a whole bunch of folks are reading this at this point any how.
Your welcome.
