THE SWEET RELEASE OF BEDSIDE NOTEPADS

I can't believe I have a blog. I'm that girl. Now let me just clear the air before you all start getting huffy, telling me the inventor of blog spot had divine revelation from God or something. Simmer down. See, I have one of those brains that never stops. Good ideas, bad ideas- they are all there. They keep me up. I keep a notepad next to my bed so I can write down the things I think while falling asleep. And I never have enough patience to sit and write in my journal. I say that I do, but in fact, I only have an infatuation with paper and pens. So, while in my head I'm telling myself I'm buying that journal because it will help my inner voice come out, in reality it's because the journal is vintage, or my favorite pens are on sale. And now that I want to be a writer, everything I see day to day becomes a story. And inspiration. My muse. Not only am I jotting down ideas in my head, I'm channeling emotions into plot lines, people into characters, and the circumstances into conversations. So you see, by getting this blog, I am saving myself. It was this, or one day finding myself rocking back and forth in a corner and popping anxiety pills. I choose blog.
