I'm a grown up. I have done all the growing "up" there is to do. Sideways, that's another story! I'm so grown up even my kids are officially grown ups. So what happens when someone like me wants to do something different with their lives?
We spend a lot of time while growing up thinking about what we want to be when we get there. Then we get there and most of us settle in to whatever it is that we got ourselves into! Life happens. Some people find their true calling early on and go for it. They do what they love and love what they do. Others look at work as a job, a means to an end. Hopefully they like what they do even if it doesn't exactly fulfill all their expectations. Like I said, life happens. Kids, mortgages,kids,responsibilities and kids!
What happens if you wake up one day and say to your very grown up self "I want to change what I do." " I need to change what I do!" "I can't do this anymore!" I've said all of those things. Now I'm saying them out loud. I want to be a writer. I could go into a long explanation of my life and why I never became a writer. Its just not important. There are no do overs in life but more importantly life isn't over yet!
This blog was in part a step toward becoming a writer. I love writing this blog. If nothing else it should be interesting to see how all of this pans out. Do I write a book? How about a screenplay? Freelance? All of the above? So take notice and take cover! I put it in print! I've gone on record. There will be a change in my life and not just *the change* !
And why shouldn't you write - write and write and write to your hearts content - because we are reading, yes we are and loving every word that you put down on print....keep at it! xoxo
