Inspired to Blog again...

Yes, it has been awhile. I have been inspired to blog again due to a new friend's most AWESOME blog site. ( http://traceygjones.wordpress.com/ )
Her blogs make me smile, some make me get choked up, many are inspiring and heartwarming, some are just plain silly, but mainly they are just HONEST and so well written! They inspire me to write blogs again, but in a different way.... Not just about what happened in the past week, but about my random feelings or thoughts. Not about the specific things that I did, but more about the crazy stuff that goes on in my brain. I think I will try to blog a little more often about that.

I wonder sometimes if people take as long to write a blog as I do. So many jumbled thoughts that run through my brain, but they never seem to come out right when I do finally decide to write one. I always feel like if I could paint pictures of what I see in my head, or write down the things that I think about, I could have written some awesome books. But nope. I start writing a story, and half way through, my brain freezes up. I am impatient and ready for it to end, and I find myself rushing through a great story to finish up with a sloppy ending..... Kinda like the movie, "IT" by Stephen King. (What on earth HAPPENED in the last half of that movie anyway?)

Anywhooo... where was I? ...Oh yeah. - I guess that is why when I was younger I stuck to just writing poems instead. (And some very lame, rushed diary entries that are too embarrassing to read over again.) When I write, it has to be short and sweet or I will bore myself. So I guess I will see if I can try this blogging thing out again. I want to get in touch with my creative side and know that art is NOT an option for me. (didn't get that gene). My theater days are in the past now, so maybe I will just blog once in awhile.

Peace out for now.
