First One of the Year

Well I am here in front of this screen - wickedly white (that is the screen not me - I haven't become that pale yet - winter white). In trepidation I let my not so nibble fingers flit over this keyboard. I am in the middle of sewing a pair of pajama pants. The long forgotten material and pattern were found this morning and I said, "That's it! I have to do this - now!"

Now the unfinished pants are sitting on my lap as I type away. That's me - a scanner. My friend Kimberley told me about a book about scanning. I read it - it is me. I love to try new things. I start things and then get caught up in something else. I really thought there was something wrong with me until I read the book. It is called Refuse to Choose by Barbara Sher and can be found on her website. Some of my symptoms are starting the laundry, doing some writing, then getting a snack, cleaning up something, then oops the laundry. It usually takes me two to three days to do the laundry as I forget that it is still waiting for me. I will talk more about this trait in future blogs.

But, this year I have promised myself to try to write more, to get less involved in the mechanics and just let it flow. I am working on a children's book. I have sent off an article to a magazine. I feel like maybe, just maybe I am on a roll again.

So, welcome to my blog. May you find something of interest here as I type, think and retype. Write to me. Let's get to know one another.

Off to finish my pajamas.
