The Beginning

I'M BLOGGING!

I just created a blog. How's that for trying to catch up to everyone else in this digital society? I realize that for me this will probably be nothing more than just another journal of the happenings in my daily life, like I already keep privately on my computer, but a somewhat more edited version...sorry...LOL. You never know who might read this stuff though.

Yeah, I know, if one wants to be a writer, one should not inhibit their writing in such a way, but there are certain things that I just can't talk about in here.

Did I mention that I am an aspiring writer? Actually, I guess I am a writer, since I'm writing, but I have not been published or even finished my book...yet. I shall endeavor to keep you posted on my progress though.

I am currently reading "The Courage to Write" by Ralph Keyes. It was loaned to me by a fellow writing group member Travis. Thank you, Travis. I wasn't sure I had a problem with having the courage to write, but as you can see from what I mentioned earlier, I will not expose certain aspects of my life for public viewing...especially if there is any chance at all my family will read it. Call me chicken, I'll agree. There are some things I just feel more comfortable telling complete strangers than my family...LOL. It's definitely something I need to work on.

I guess since this is my first post, I really should introduce myself. You can call me Kloie. No, it's not my real name, but just a nickname that was given to me and serves my purpose here. I'm currently 42, a single mother of two boys (18 and 11) and a damn good cake decorator, if I do say so myself, and I do...LOL. Hey, I'm not the only one.

I'm sure you'll find out way more than you ever wanted to know about me and my life as this continues. Hopefully, I won't bore you to tears. I can make no promises though. I will do my best to keep you entertained but my best varies from day to day...LOL. After all, sometimes the events in my life are sadly lacking in entertainment value.

Today my children came back from their Dad's, so that raises the chances of entertaining commentary quite a bit. We'll see if they crack you up as much as they do me.

I'm afraid that I need to bring this to a close for now. Things to do, places to go, people to meet. I have a date with "the girls" this evening. "The girls" being Elyn, Elisabeth, Loretta and Andrea for future reference. These are ladies from my writing group "ink slingers". We seemed to have forged a friendship that has really enriched my life. I think it has done the same for them.

Ciao for now
