My first post...I feel like a kid in kindergarten

I have always wanted to write a book, or maybe even just a column in a local paper, but life has just never gone that way.

Where it has gone is to a life lived in the suburbs. I work full time in the public relations industry, so I guess I do get to write daily and for a living, but it just isn't the same. It isn't what I would call a creative outlet. Don't get me wrong - I like my job, and am grateful that I have it. But if I was to write what I really thought, or speak how I really speak, I would be escorted from the property. So, pay cheque - yes, creative outlet - no.

Which brings me here. And it is kind of scary. It feels a little bit like standing in front of the classroom, introducing myself, and asking you all to like me, and like me enough that you keep coming back here to read what I have to say. I hope you like me.
