Everyone’s first blog seems to be a defense of why they have started to blog. Why do we feel the need to explain ourselves? Having said that, I am not going to introduce this blog with explanation or shame.
I want to write a book one day. I don’t know how realistic this is, but somewhere deep in my soul I think I will achieve this goal. I am envious of children’s book writers. After I see or read a children’s book (sometimes just looking at the pictures suffice) I always think, “well I could have done that!” I am not at a point in my life where I have a books worth of knowledge to share with the world, but I’m expecting things to get juicer.
I have two other main goals to achieve before I die. I want to learn to play the violin, and I want to get a black eye.
But all I really want to do is drink coffee in a quaint portland coffee shop with my favorite friend on a cold blue morning while listening to the best music my ears have ever eaten.
I really like the background setting on my blog. It reminds me of what I dream about for my own house. I want to live in an old house with a lot of history and character. Maybe a former crack house. not really, that could get complicated. But i want to live in a house made of wood with a lot of creepy antique mirrors and quilts all about.
I think it would be rather interesting to see you write a children's book. I don't think it would be all cheesy like a Disney movie (which i love most of them) but more realistic and relevant. I'm right there with you on the old house thing. I drive through the "urban" parts of fort worth and dallas and imagine the time when everything use to look pretty and well maintained. I just can't live in an old house because the thought of ghost's freak me out. Like old southern plantation homes. I think you'd be a great writer. Oh and I can help out with the black eye. Just sayin...
ReplyDeleteour blogs have the same background :)
