About

For years now, I have called myself a writer. The only problem with that is that I’ve never actually written anything. Unless you count rambling e-mails to friends or endless to-do lists but I don’t count those.

I have a regular day job that on the good days I find fairly inspiring and on the bad days I find monotonous and intellectual painful. I have a family and two kids and friends and the whole shebang. And now I have a blog.

So this is my attempt at writing. I’m not sure anyone will ever read this but I’ve decided I’m okay with that. I’ll just keep writing so that when I call myself a writer, I’ll know I’m not lying.

And maybe eventually a few people will stumble across this crazy thing I’ve put together and maybe they’ll read something that will make them smile, or even laugh, and that would be great too.

  Thanks Shireen – I totally hear you, we would have great fun drinking tea and discussing books (an everything else!) if only there wasn’t an ocean between us!

  Thank you so much – it’s so easy to sit here in solitude and think I’m the only one reading the words so it’s great to know there are people like you out there reading them!

I love your little tag line-admission is free–hey we all love free stuff….especially when it is is given so sweetly. Your blogs never fail to hit home. And make me smile and sometime even laugh out loud.

I can totally relate!! I always wanted to be a writer when I grew up. The only problem is that in order to be called a writer, you have to actually write. Instead, I have a super boring job in insurance. So I blog instead. 🙂

  We sound like kindred spirits!! Doesn’t matter where or how or why – just as long as we keep writing!
