Creative Writing -- My First Post

Now that you’ve got some blogging experience under your belt, re-write your very first post. I’ve started another blog.  This one is for me…  a place for me to collect my thoughts, share some ideas, be a record of me.  The two other blogs that I write for are very specific.  And while I enjoy writing for them… they are just so darn specific.  If I want to wonder about the weather or share my thoughts on a non-education or tech book I just read, I can’t.  So, this one will be my personal outlet.  If anyone gets around to reading this… enjoy!  Just remember, most days I am fairly scatter brained and random.  Prepare to get ridiculous!

Instead of rewriting the post, I thought I would do a bit of reflection on my first post.  It did the job, but overall is a bit boring.  Of course, I've seen others' first posts that are one sentence.  This one does establish the fact that I've started a new blog for my personal thoughts.  Very quickly the blog morphed into a books and reading centric blog, but that's okay.  I really wanted to document my reading.  Book reviews are still a huge part of the blog.  This past year, I have started branching back out into other areas of my life.  I started Fashion Fridays to play with style (not that I actually own any of those clothes, wishful thinking...).  I did weekly pregnancy updates.  I've highlighted more about my new little one (need to get more about the twins on here).  I've also made an attempt to document my attempt to document our lives using Project Life.  My blog is slowly turning into an all encompassing life blog and I love the direction it's going.  I'm not going to give up reading related posts any time soon, but I don't just want this to be a book blog (not that there's anything wrong with book blogs).  I don't want to limit myself so much that I don't feel free to post where the moment takes me.  My new mantra for the blog: "This will be my personal outlet."
