Right away I'm amusing myself with my own lack of understanding as to what I'm doing here. 'A Beginning' was supposed to be the title of my first post...which it is. Unbeknownst to me, at the time, I've also made it the name of my very first blog. I think I'll leave it though, as it seems appropriate for my head space.
I chose 'A Beginning' because I chose to start blogging to participate in the A to Z blogging during the month of April. I'm not officially signed up, I just need any reason I can find to have some sort of organization with my writing practice. Writing is my new music. I've been a musician most of my life. Like any long term relationship, Music and I have our ups and downs. Right now we are on a down swing, and I need another lover. Since I've found that I can feel more productive with Writing when very limited on time (as compared to Music who is an excessively needy companion), she is my choice these days.
Which brings me to this post. The blogging challenge started on April 1. I didn't learn of it until today, hence I write for April 1 on April 4. Typical me...a reverse April Fool's joke played only on myself. I wonder if this is indicative of the long term arc of my new love affair with writing?
So there it is...A Beginning. Tick-tock, tick-tock. The baby (almost 4 month old, Xander) is finally asleep. All I want to do is stay up for some 'me' time. The house is quiet. I can think without disruption. Alas...tick-tock...the alarm will not wait for me to recover from any later of a night. Therefore, my beginning is short. It does feel marvelously and decadently productive, however.
Oh writing, how I love you.
