back in business... i hope

if you haven't noticed, i've been out of the blogging loop for a while. i feel too busy with life to sit down and write about it. no, that's not totally true. i don't blog mostly because i don't think i have anything interesting to talk about. and even though one of my girlfriends has told me i am, i also don't think of myself as a writer. **love you girl! but i'm not feelin' it! :~( ** but after speaking with another blogger friend last sunday while our kids were ice skating together, i've been re-inspired. she gave me some really good tips on how to get back into journaling on-line without feeling intimidated. she said she thinks of herself as a reporter with a weekly assignment to post in her blog. she also carries her digital camera with her everyday and takes pictures of things to write about. she admitted that her "assignments" aren't super creative, mostly mundane. but that's okay. real life isn't always full of drama... or is it? anyway, here are her hints:

• something quick, a picture with a caption.
• a short paragraph about her kid.
• a random thought.

and no major editting allowed. any post she makes fulfills her assignment.

hmm, pretend i'm a journalist. well this is an online journal, right? okay, i'll try this out and see if my new strategy keeps me posting. and more importantly, gets me excited again. (although i blew the editting part already and the length thing, too! i can't help it! it's the OCD kicking in and taking over!!! )

but, honestly, i think it might work. stay tuned!!
