I am in a creative mood today, a bit manic even (in a good way, I promise). I have more than a few projects in the works and lurking on the fringes. I feel productive! For most of my "adult" life I think I resigned myself to the you can't do that mentality when it comes to branching out, taking a chance.
So. What the hell am I talking about, right?
I have enough time and enough motivation at this point in my life that I can finally take a giant leap of faith and do something I have always wanted to do. Write. Not blog, although obviously I will do that. But write, write. And even more exciting? I am DOING it, not just obsessing about it, worrying about it, planning to do it, coming up with reasons why it's a bad idea, starting and rejecting it. Doing it. I must say...it feels great. It's like I have kept it all bottled up and now words and thoughts and ideas are just...there.
As bad as I am at being secretive, I'm going to keep things under wraps from everyone, including the most nosy in my life (I'm looking at you!) until I have a workable output that is worth sharing. All I ask for is your best wishes, good vibes, prayers. Whatever you would like to send my way. Actually working towards realizing a dream of what I wanted to be when I grow up - which I won't - is pretty damn cool.
