Its about time

I have been needing a change for a while.  So I am listening to Freddy Mercury instead of Eminem.  Baby steps.  I am beginning something that I hope will be successful.  I am starting to write poetry, with the hope of getting some of it published.  If its meets the approval of editors.  I also have an idea for a childrens series of books that had been stored away for while. That inspiration reared its head about 2 months ago.  There are also other ideas, but I need to write what I know.  I have a good imagination, if I let it go.....;)  Being a stay at home with my kiddos is initiating the wiggle to re-establish my identity beyond "mommy."  If anyone has any pointers- feel free to share.  I enjoy writing, the challenge of putting my ideas in words that communicate feeling as well as factual  information.  I am attempting to keep a good attitude about the snow that the forecasters are calling for tonight and tomorrow.  Blech!  Whoops, not successful there, oh well!  I have the intention of keeping my "writing goal and dreams" to myself and the anonymous blog world.  I am not ready for criticism and naysayers from my circle of family and friends.  Being a cooped-up mom for several years does a number on one's confidence.   So here I am-please be kind.  I appreciate honesty.  I might test some ideas or poetry on here.  I started on my poetry today, began the outline for the 1st book on my potential series.  I think its a cute storyline.  The story was one I created to entertain my niece and nephews about 12 yrs ago when I lived with my sis's family in beautiful northern Idaho.  I do not live there anymore and miss it much.  The ache for the mountains comes and goes.  Unless you've experienced it, you may not be able to indentify with this.  Sigh.  Well the "Mentalist" comes on in about 3 minutes, so have a good Friday world.
