This won't be perfect...

I have so many half-written ideas that I keep planning to write into succinct blog articles, but it never happens.I had assumed that striking out to freelance full-time would also leave me free to research and write to my heart's content. Instead, I wake up in the morning, and I work. When I am not working, I run errands. Then, in the time in between, I find myself too burnt out on writing to get the gumption to write more! I do not seem to run out of gumption to write for work, but while I am gathering ideas and have lists of articles I want to write for my own pleasure, I just can't seem to get the oomph to sit down and write them.

I do not have the large work contracts I had hoped to have at this point, but I realize now how unrealistic my goals were.  The dreams of youth (two months ago), they were so beautiful and fleeting!  However, some of my other small contracts are slowly morphing into other avenues. I am finding it exciting to see how all of this works.

I want this blog to become fun. I want to research toilet art protests and discuss how I feel when an old man calls me ma'am simply because I am white. I want to discuss grammar, movies, books, whatever comes to mind.

But in the meantime, this blog is mine. I'm going to stop worrying that everything in it has to be picture perfect.
