Gosh-what do I say? I don't want to be too serious or businesslike. That would give the entirely wrong impression.
I'm supposed to put stuff in my first blog about who I am and what this blog is intended for. So let's see.... wife...mother....blah blah....worked here.....worked there....did this....did that....I do have an associates degree in radiography, but my most important degrees are the ones I've earned being married to the same man for more years than I'd care to admit....not because I'm not proud of being married for so long, but because then you would just try to figure out how old I must be and I'm not so spiritually evolved that I don't care about stuff like that, no matter what the name of my blog suggests.
I was a stay-at-home mom of three for quite a few years, and I adored every minute. By staying home, I was able to earn an honorary degree in "Creative Finance" ....I minored in"Family and Consumer Sciences"..... I flunked "Child Psychology" and I got an A in my thesis on "Psycho Parents Who Truly Believe Their Kids Are Going to Play in the NFL"... it was pretty easy to write... I had a close relationship with all of the subjects.
The reason I'm starting this blog is that I began my career as a freelance writer about 39 seconds ago. I know that in order to make this work, I'm going to have to jump in the pool with all the other "big guns" out there and walk the walk. It's not like I'm not experienced though, I've been blogging in Microsoft Word for a few years now. But it's so unrewarding....nobody ever comments.......it's lonely.
Um, so anyway....just as in the title, this blog is going to be my place to come and hang out, write....and just be me. Presently, I am writing for DS and Suite101. That will change as I have a few more publishers' whose party I want to go to, but for now....one step at a time. Having said that though, I do have lofty plans. I went out for dinner tonight with my husband and as we were sitting there chatting....okay, I was talking non-stop and he was was just sitting there unable to get a word in, but whatever....anyway; I asked him what he thought might happen down the road when he was dead and I was 97 and well.....what happens to all that passive revenue from my work when I die?
...he said he didn't know.
In the meantime, this is going to be my place, and I warn you....I'm going to be bad! I'm going to do all the things I'm not allowed to do out.... there.
In case you can't tell, I love exclamation marks!!!...I enjoy using bold.
But most of all.....yup, you guessed it....I love "dotdotdot!!"
...need I say more?!!Thanks for visiting. I hope you come back to visit again.
