Down the rabbit hole

Dear reader,

So this has been a long time coming. Thanks to some advice from a sweet friend, I finally decided to take the plunge and start a blog. Matt has been on my back about blogging for a while now, but I never knew quite what to write about.

At the same time, my collection of incomplete creative writing has been growing, and well, dying, as it sits unread and unfinished in my laptop and assorted notebooks. I believe my frequent writer’s block has been largely due to a fear of completion, or more so, a fear of completed works never being published or read.

While sitting at the playground today, letting the kiddos run wild and enjoying some much needed time with my homeschool mom-friends, we started talking about our artistic passions and, more importantly, what has been keeping us from those passions.

After voicing my feelings and fears about completing and publishing my writing, one friend said, “Start a blog and publish your stories in episodes!”

Genius! Why haven’t I ever thought of that? I fully believe that God puts certain people in our lives for a reason, and Tascha, I am so thankful He put you in mine.

So here I am, taking a leap of faith thanks to a little nudge at just the right time. Between parenting/homeschooling and my job as a journalist, I’m not sure yet how often I will be able to post, but I hope you will join me on this journey and maybe get some entertainment (and occasionally encouragement) from the goings-on inside my head.

Until next time,

Crystal
