Why Am I here?

Ah, the age-old question. Easy answers, but maybe complicated.

I am here because I have endless blog ideas in my head, begging to be published. More to the point is that I need a shove to get this stuff out where others can read it–if they are interested.

Metaphorically my brain is less like an orderly file cabinet, and more like a series of cardboard boxes filled willy-nilly with stories and ideas, rough drafts, deathless prose just waiting to be uncovered. This material might never see the light of day without a shove in the right direction.

Here’s a few topics I want to include in my blog: CATS. Writing. Back In the Day…, Books. Collecting stuff. History. Opinionated Rants and Pious Preaching. Outrageous Historical Misinformation.

Actually I already have an introduction to my blog, SOMETIMES, which has been languishing in my blog draft file. In fact…there are a couple of such intro pieces, now that I think about it.

…glad to be aboard!

I’m certainly glad you decided to continue your blog, but it took until today to remember that it was YOU writing and not some spammy person. I had deleted the first couple without opening the emails but today I decided to take a chance and see just what Sometimes was!!!! Now I can put you in my blog folder! Crazy, isn’t it?

I love this comparison! I can absolutely relate, and now I will see my head as an attic filled with messy, paper-filled boxes. Thank you for the image – it makes me smile 🙂

I can absolutely relate to you comment on having ‘endless blog ideas in my head’. I decided to just go with one of them, maybe it was not the right one and maybe my blog will turn into something else, who knows! Looking forward to seeing which direction yours is taking:)
