Getting Started

Good Morning Bloggers,

I’m back on the floor again sitting comfortably on my purple prop chair and drawing in my morning tea. Yes, I like Starbucks too, but earl grey is my staple for making mornings come alive. I’ve committed to writing at least a little each day, here – not the thousand words a day of summer writers’ bootcamp, and maybe not the three hundred Max suggested, but enough to keep my writing mind agile and my lap warm :-).

It’s really been fun and exciting to meet the bloggers who’ve dropped by since I opened the door yesterday. I’ve been doing a little tracking around myself and have been very pleased (and amazed) at what I’ve seen so far. Puzzled, too, I might add – some sites out there have appeared anomalous on first glance, but they, soon, may become more familiar to me. As you may have gathered from my first blog, I like traveling to places unknown and hostelling there until I have full grokking.

But then, I have to be honest – or at least, realistic – I will never come to the place of fully grokking nations such as N.E.R.D., one of the blogs on the board of note. *sigh* Isn’t that the distress, though, that figures on the other side of pleasure’s coin for those of us who are first scouts on an uncharted course, and then messengers delivering the goods back at the campfire? Always a little twinge of pain that comes from the withholding of what we cannot understand or verbalize when the time comes to report back—comprenez?

Well, I’ve given a preliminary (and really short) summary to my family and a few friends I think might venture into this territory to witness my effort here. (Who knows, they may also find they’re pulled to explore beyond my pages! – or even begin their own – great gawd!) I think I’m going to like this, so I’ll have to be sure and thank Max for recommending it. This is both a venue for self-expression and an opportunity for nesting on small eggs of creativity, at the same time as meeting, greeting, and warming to others having a similar experience. Much more fruitful than just journaling…

Have a good day, my new fellow travelers!
