second time around

I recently overheard someone say, “If you’re a writer and you don’t have a blog, that’s just stupid.”

And I have to agree.

So here I am, a few weeks after hearing that quote. Better late than never.

Take two.

Only this time it’s a little different. The season is changing. Gone are the sizzling 90 degree days and endless hours. The first two months after graduation, when I had nothing to do but watch endless hours of mindless TV (and ended up getting hooked on mindless shows such as “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” and “Kourney and Khloe Take Miami”) and lounge on the beach, I kept saying “I miss writing.” I had all the time in the world to work on the novel that will probably never get completed or get this whole blog thing started, but did I do anything? Nope.

Now things have changed and I spend my 9-5 writing. Okay, well maybe 10-6, but still, I’m a bit busier. Add in a long commute and it doesn’t leave me all that much time. But maybe it will get me on a routine to take some time out of my day, or at least week, to write about something I might enjoy a little more, me.

Enter the beginning signs of fall. Perfect beach day yesterday- 80 degrees and a clear sunny sky, a true gem of summer. Today, enter fall. Cool, breezy, rainy. Basically my definition of miserable. The first Sunday of football season. The first day spent in sweats and a sweatshirt cuddled on the couch flipping between football and HGTV. Fall.

Maybe fall will bring about a season of changes. Maybe I’ll find something- a hobby?- that will make me happy? Maybe the season will get me down? Or maybe I’ll keep it going and enjoy the changing leaves, cooler air, fall festivals, pumpkin picking, upcoming trip to Hershey and my writing.

Let’s see if I have it in me this time.
