Welcome

I have never seen myself as a writer.  In fact, I have always thought that I suffer from chronic writer's block.  However, I have always wanted to write.  Just put my thoughts down on paper, not really tell a story, just put my thoughts into print.  As a teacher, I am most insecure about teaching writing.  It feels hypocritical to me.  I don't write and feel I can't write, but I demand that my students write.  I should take my own advice.  Anyway, I took a writing course.  And then another.  And today, a third.  Same instructor, same approach to teaching writing.  And for the first time, when she asked us to write, I wrote without hesitation.  Just a paragraph, but I wanted to continue.  And so I have decided to find a way to put my thoughts in print.  Random thoughts.  Thoughts from a single mom.  Thoughts from a teacher, a sister, a friend, a lover, an aunt.  Parts of my day that stuck with me.  So here goes.  Wish me luck.
