Today is November 1st and according to the rest
of my writing family (my daughter specifically) it is the first day of Nano
Rhymo (or at least that is what I think she calls it). This apparently has
something to do with challenging yourself to having a set number of words to
write in a book each day with the goal of being finished with it at the end of
the month and ready for editing… That doesn’t sound like a lot of fun to me. I’m
not really a writer. (Wait! I have a blog! Does that mean I am a writer???) I
guess that’s where the practicing comes in.
My life has been a series of attempts to be more involved,
more organized, more focused, more anything really… As a form of a mid-life
crisis I have realized that no real growth can happen without a certain amount
of risk. I am an ISFJ. I don’t know if any of you are familiar with
Meyers-Briggs but that makes me a homebody. Really, I am happiest in my safe
little bubble not letting most people know what my truest inner thoughts are.
This is WAY outside my safe little bubble! I might express a true opinion that
might offend someone… A huge part of my thought process is to measure my opinions
against others so I don’t offend anyone… In other words I don’t share controversial
opinions.
There is a phrase about everyone’s possession of opinions
and I think it is a pretty accurate assessment in some cases. So I won’t be
sharing anything controversial here. Just awesome adventures with the family, cool
things that happen on the farm, other credited ideas I think are neat, possibly
some home made products in the future, but for now… Just me finding a way to
step out into my own personal twilight zone.
Hey K! Does just over 300 words for today get me started?
