Flexing
It's been just over a year since I last posted to my LiveJournal! With so many people around me not only urging me to create some output, but also themselves inspiring me with what they do every day, I have decided to try to write more. It's one of those skills that gets flabby after going underused for so long (and no, lists don't count!) so I expect these first few ventures won't be very interesting to anyone but me.
I have friends who are visual artists, and friends who frame their world through music-making, and it's amazing to me that one picture or three minutes of a song can can make me feel so strongly! I have always longed for the kind of creativity that helps those around me know me a little bit better, or expresses something within me that maybe I didn't even realize I felt. As I have grown into motherhood and adulthood, I think I have grown into a more specific point of view that I really, truly own. I don't need to make apologies for what I like or how I like it! I am constantly setting things up in my head in a literary way, playing with words and syntax in the hope that I might one day lay them down on paper. I feel that time is now, as I think I need a platform for all the projects I have begun.
TTFN, world!
