The Next Hemingway, I'm Sure.

I'm not sure why I still blog here. I don't think anyone's reading and who can blame them? I've been an absentee blogger and I deserve to lose custody of my readers.
I lost my blogging mojo a long time ago. I guess I realized I didn't have any strong opinions about anything anymore and who wants to read someone who rides the fence most of the time?
Years ago when I started this thing, I was opinionated and political but now I've lost faith in it all.
I think I sound depressed and shit, maybe I am. I certainly don't mean to sound negative because I'm not really a negative person; I tend to try to see the bright side of all situations but let me tell you something...that gets exhausting!
Sometimes, you'd like to just roll around in your misery for a while and that's ok, I think...just as long as you eventually stand up.

I've had good news lately. I connected with an author a few months back. She wrote a book about keeping a journal and she ended up sending me a review copy. It was great and I am going to be using it for my journaling classes this summer. When I told her what I've been doing for the past six years in teaching kids about keeping a journal, she was very excited and presented me with the opportunity to write my own book on journaling.
Yes, I could be a published author one day soon!

Before you know it, I will be a moody writer drunk on my own success.

I still read but there is not enough content here to keep a twelve year old amused. I have the same problem.

I'm not sure but it might involve silk ties, K-Y and loud music.
