Unfocused

Oh my goodness. It's almost 2012 ... on the one hand, I can't believe it. On the other — THANK GOD!

I've had so much going on this past year: moving out on my 'own' (well, with my son), doing the whole divorce thing, trying to rediscover who I am, among other things. One of the parts of my 'rediscovering' myself is immersing myself in writing.

I have always been a writer. My family would never see me without a notebook and a pen (usually some odd color like electric blue, hot pink, green, or — my favorite — purple). I've written numerous short stories and random bits of emo poetry, but when I turned 16 I started planning my first novel. Technically it's a two-novel "series". It's taken almost 10 years of off-and-on writing, but I'm very nearly finished with the first book. I'd really like to thank my #Twitter friends for their help and support, it's played a pivotal part in my rededication.

I've recently decided that Wordpress.com wasn't working for this blog. I wanted it to be fun and pretty-looking. Wordpress doesn't really have many customization options. So, I hope this is pretty. :D I might change it around a little more — probably just because I can.

I'm looking forward to 2012. This year has been stressful in so many ways ... I'm anxious for a new feel and a fresh beginning. I'm looking forward to when my life begins. ;)
