Here I am again...

Once more, I brush away the cobwebs and try to resurrect my blog…

I feel, at heart, that I am a writer… not only is writing something that I want to do, but I feel in some ways that it’s something I am meant to do. But I have been neglecting that calling a lot lately, for numerous reasons that all amount to just excuses I create in my mind. I have been telling myself (and others) that I want to get back into my writing, and I have known all along that in the end, I simply have to DO it… To be a writer, I have to write.

But my writing is rusty and inflexible from disuse. Like any skill, I must practice and exercise my talents… and toward that end, I turn again to this sadly abandoned blog. I make no promises, but I hope to write here regularly—daily, if I can—and flex wings that have been clipped and bound for too long.

Perhaps the image of the mighty phoenix rising in a blaze of glory is too much of an over-statement for what I hope to accomplish here. I do not claim that anything I write here will be all that spectacular, literary, or even that entertaining… but I hope that readers (if there are any) will find something worth looking at. And if I manage on occasion to amuse or even enlighten a little, then so much the better…
