Time Crunch

It turns out that starting a blog a month before ones destination wedding isn't the ideal time to expect to post weekly entries! Then again when is? I'm not a writer. I have a day job. I have a new wife, two daughters...family. I have two classes coming up next semester. I have lots of interests and hobbies. How do I find time to write a weekly blog? The answer is I don't. I have to make the time. I constantly shuffle this here and that there. I weigh sleep, quality time with loved ones and friends, exercise, errands, playing music, listening to music, cooking, watching 30 Rock, go to work 40-48 hours and numerous other things on a weekly basis. When do I write?? Who's brain here shuts off? Mine certainly doesn't. One of the things I find difficult is to take the time to stop and write or record an idea when it comes.

I hear by resurrect this blog and will, by this weekend, write you all a story, using one of those prompts. There have been a lot of #100days blogs and Facebook posts lately, so I plan to write a hundred of those stories, poems, or memories using that book. It won't be in 100days, but maybe over a year or two. I hope you enjoy. I am excited to get started

Cheers!.
