I must need to write...
I just recently celebrated my 33rd birthday and suddenly have a hankering to write.
Like I used to.
FOR FUN.
Whoa, haven't done THAT in a while. I mean, during the years I worked as a newspaper reporter, editor and, later, as a freelancer, I rarely had "fun" writing. I mean, when you cover hard news like fatal accidents, school board budgets and city scandals, the fun just kind of gets sucked out of your writing.
Unless you get a weird high out of writing that kind of thing. In that case, seek a therapist.
I think the most fun I ever had writing was when I blogged for the newspaper I wrote for -- they allowed me to write about whatever I felt like, and I normally felt like writing about anything but work. Like home, family life, relationships and road kill (which is how I met my husband, but that's a story for another day).
My life has changed a lot since those days. I'm a wife and mom of three toddlers now. I love to run and read -- both of which get crammed into the little corners of my day.
I also take my walk with the Lord a lot more seriously than I used to -- so expect to hear about that too. If it offends you, I pray the Lord will change your heart as He is doing to mine. I'm learning a lot these days.
