I had been confessing all of my inadequacies blogging for almost a year when I was approached about joining a small group of writers for this website. I was incredibly flattered, but a little unnerved when I learned that I would be sharing this platform with accomplished author and editor Emily Watts. Though she and I haven’t yet met personally, I once heard her make a derogatory comment about glue guns in a Time Out For Women talk so I think we’re going to get along just fine. Then later I heard that our 3rd participant in this venture was an improv comedian and a mother of 5, and I had to sit down and write 100 times “I will not be intimidated in this class.” I’m okay now.
Nevertheless, I still have a few questions about how this is all going to work. First of all, will people still want to read what I have to say when they are not a) friends who relish any opportunity to shame me publicly with their comments, b) people who either pushed for several hours to bring me into this world or spent many subsequent years trying to force me to smile in our family pictures, or c) those who interract with me enough that they only check my blog regularly to make sure I’m not talking about them?
My answer: I don’t know.
Secondly, can I write for this venue and still make my personal blog interesting enough to keep it active? I really hope so. Finally, will I run out of things to say? Sometimes I worry about this one, and then I remember that puberty is just around the corner at my house so I think it is safe to say, I doubt it. Well then, lucky you.
