Tabula Rasa

I'm not much one for resolutions. I tend to make them and ignore them, or put off making them until March, or make them randomly throughout the year. I treat them very irreverently. So this blog isn't a resolution. I believe in new things, blank slates rather then promises I don't hold in much esteem anyway. This, this is a new thing for a New Year.

I've tried blogging before and it never seemed to work. Or it worked for a while, but  never stuck. I tried dabbling in design, I tried schedules and planning. But I never had a reason to blog, things I wanted to blog about. I had a blog because I had a writing degree and no idea what to do with it. I still can't say I do. But I've ruminated. Thought about it, turned ideas around, ruminated.

I had everything backwards. I was writing because I had a writing degree, not because I liked writing. So I had a blog because I had a degree, not because I had a passion.

And I think if anything will work, it's a blank slate. I need to write. Not because I'm supposed to, but because I want to. And use my deep, abiding love of the internet to do so.

So progress may be slow. This may not start with a bang. I'm going to let it happen how it happens, and let things happen because I want them to. Welcome to the journey.
