Facebook Killed the Blogger

I know it's been awhile...and I've come back to say...don't blame me, blame Facebook. I've always been the type to go for the instant gratification. While I enjoy blogging, I've really enjoyed re-connecting with friends, especially as my family have been a bunch of gypsies since 2003. It's so much easier to carve the few minutes it takes to write a small little blip about what's going on currently in my life than sitting down to write a post.

However I've discovered something in the past few months that has surprised me. I'm a writer, even if I don't put my ideas out on paper consistently. I love writing. In high school and college, there were few places that I went to without a notebook. I stopped somewhere between working towards my post-graduate degrees and banging out research and term papers and becoming a mother to two spunky and wild monkeys. It wasn't a conscious decision but one made slowly as I simply stopped carrying around those ratty, tatty notebooks. I'm trying to make a change now. Working out my ideas in journals and hopefully posting more frequently here. I'm focusing on the process and letting it take me where it needs to go.
