Artists need a way to release themselves; to get going; to get the juices flowing. That's what I want this collection of journal entries to be: a place where I can say what I want without fear of retribution. I don't always feel like I have enough time to say what I want to say. I'll just have to try and be persistent and consistent.

 Good evening from quite chilly Middle Tennessee. I changed my handle to "Reinventing Myself" because that's what I've been doing my entire life. I'm also a chronic organizer, meaning that I like to organize my life into little compartments and boxes where everything fits nicely. I'm like this because I grew up as an Army Brat. You know, no home but everywhere was home. I appreciate my lifestyle now, but I sure didn't when I was living it. My dream was to have a regular home in a regular neighborhood in a regular town. I should have appreciated it more.
 I'm a reader. I always have been. I used to hide behind my books. I used to hide in my books. I pretended to be somebody else. I wanted to be the kids in the books because they seemed so normal. I never felt normal. I'm not 100% sure that I feel normal now. But what is normal anyway? I like to pretend that I'm normal sometimes. But other times, I'm happy and quite proud that I'm not normal. I'm not abnormal in some weird way that no one likes. I have a job and a family and friends. People think that i have a distinct personality, but no one would say that I'm weird. At least I don't think so.
 I love to write. Really, it's what I do. That and reading. I like to write random shit that seems to have no purpose. I can't ever maintain a story as I get bored with it. I'm that way with many things. Possibly a side effect of my upbringing. That nomad wandering childhood? Let's hope so...or not.If I can find the time, I'd like to write something each night. I don't know. My husband gets upset when I sit at the computer. He'd rather that I come up and watch television with him. But that gets so boring. I can't just sit and watch television.
 I like the bigger letters. They seem more friendly and fun for me and everyone else. Okay, I'll have to set everything to the same size. I'll get the hang of it pretty soon. If I keep it up. I've started on here many times but always found excuses to stop writing. Well, not stop writing but to stop writing on here. I don't really want feedback as much as I just want a place to write where someone might see it. I need someplace safe to write without judgement. That goes against some of the reason for this site, I know. I want to write a book...what kind? I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking poetry. I've got a gazillion of ideas in my brain. I just need to get them down. How many of you write your stories out first on a legal pad? I do. Well, not my blogs. Perhaps I should then it wouldn't just seem like ramblings of a crazy woman. I did say that I wasn't exactly |
