We interrupt this broadcast

I'm having some problems with this. I was supposed to start blogging in order to shame me back into writing. Writing keeps me sane-ish. But, I stopped doing it with any regularity back in 1999. I feel that I have lost my voice. And I'm still not finding it. Mere tells people (and by people, I mean boys with the same name that she tries to pimp me to) that I am the peep oral historian. She's been encouraging me to chronicle. But, thus far, I'm a lousy ethnographer. Meet me at a party, and I'll tell you the peep lore, but I can't seem to figure out how to sit down and transfer it. I end up lamenting. Like now. And then I read other people who are much more articulate.

But, I'm not running away just yet. I thank you for your patience...

Girl, you just don't give yourself credit for how amazing you are. It may not be exactly the words you want, but these words are still worthy.

I repeat MY theme for the year, "Quit sucking and be there!" That is exactly what you are doing here. (So maybe I have to give you a prize for beating me at my own yearly theme!)

Half the battle of anything is to just stick with something and give it the time and space to grow with dedication and care. Keep at it. Writing is a craft and takes time to see through the craft to the art sometimes.

Besides, I enjoy checking in on yout head every few days. . .;0 -Tina

Thank you both! I'm just a big shut up sometimes.

for someone who's read just about every book written isn't it time you started chipping in your own contribution?

Get writing, damn it!
