Starting Again

I didn't move back to LA after all. Life-like and real-life occurrences have happened the last two years and I thought rather than ramble about all the stuff, I'd just start blogging again as if I'd never been gone. How's that? And is anyone still out there?

The truth is, I need to write every day. As I've written endlessly and tiresomely in this blog, writing has, for whatever reason, taken a back seat since oh, about 2008 or so. I think it was LA. I was just some girl who grew up in small-town West Texas and lived for awhile in Dallas and didn't do much, and then up and moved to LA. At first it was inspiring but then I got a life and I did not make my life about writing, and it was a crazy, fast, wild whirlwind. I just lived it. I am hoping, hoping, and hoping that with all this material gathered over the past few years, actual living, that I'll finally have something to write about. And I need practice, and to touch it every day. So I am going to try to pick up where I left off, when writing was a regular occurrence, something I looked forward to, and something I was actually good at. As it is, the last thing I wrote was an Order for Final Distribution to be filed in the probate court, and to be honest, I didn't even do most of the writing. The attorney had done it, and I re-arranged the sentences and slimmed it down to create a concise order. Sigh. Legal writing does not a novelist make.
