Mind Changing

I just haven't been making the time to sit and blog when I have a little something to post lately.  I was thinking that maybe I should just let the blog idea go, because I don't fill it well enough to keep a steady stream of traffic.  But then today I changed my mind.

It happened when I was listening to Pandora Radio. First, Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten" played and then, KT Tunstall's "Suddenly I See".  The words are just perfect for inspiring me.  They probably don't mean anything about writing to anyone else in the world, well maybe "Suddenly I See" might. To me though, they both just work.

"Unrwitten's" first 10 lines or so just perfectly explain what it feels like to have writer's block and "Suddenly I See" pretty well explains how I've felt every time I think of what it's like to be remembered for something that I actually care about. I'll be remembered by a lot of people for a lot of stupid things, and a lot of mean things.  I want to be recognized because my writing touched somebody. 

That's why I decided to try and give sane people insight into the less sane mind and give the less sane a place to remember that they are not alone.  Now that I've been re-inspired, I will make a point of rededicating myself to making time and reinvigorating myself daily.  I still don't know that I'll write something that actually makes a big difference daily, but at least I'll be here.  I'll get my written therapy in writing for others for a change instead of just myself.

Feel free to email me at desertbutterfly@writeme.com if there is a topic you want me to try and write about or question you'd like me to try to answer.

Some time soo I'm going to post a few pictures I took on my trips around the Anchorage area while tagging along with Mario to work.
