I sit here today with many dreams and aspirations floating around in my head. I am following a ton of blogs looking for input and advice and also an occasional beta reader. I do not have very close friendships with too many people due to the crash and burn effect I get when I feel that they are not there for me genuinely.
I hope to find more time to share my thoughts and inspirations here with everyone that is interested in listening/reading and hope to gain more insight into the writing world. I am thankful to have this experience for so far it has helped me understand more of the writing process and a little bit more about me.
Not only am I trying to complete and publish some novels, but I am trying to discover more about who I am and what I am made of. Here is a place where it is easier to stick your neck out and not worry about the judgement bestowed upon you by random strangers. I like forging friendships with people who I do not know and feel more comfortable talking to them than any of my friends merely blocks away.
Thank you for being supportive through my journey and I appreciate all the input that I get.
My life as a wanna be novelist pitted against the challenges of work, family and personal reflection. I can truly be my own worst enemy. Argh!
Thought of the moment....
No matter how hard you try, you will NEVER control anyone else's attitudes, actions, or outcomes. The only person that you have the ability to directly impact is you, and it is your responsibility to learn how to do just that...to utilize the knowledge, skills, and abilities you have been given to impact the world in the most positive way that you can EVERY chance you get!

I completely agree with you that it is so much easier to put yourself out there in Cyber World than in reality.
I too hate getting close to people and then getting rejected, but yet I still do it. Like that kid that keeps touching the stove after they burnt their hand. I'll probably never learn. You're at least one step ahead of me.
Hi Regina... Consider yourself "tagged" and thanks for the comment on my blog post (http://thebluestockingblog.blogspot.com/).
I hope your writing journey brings you closer to finding what's important in your life.
