What is your passion? What do you love? What is your creative outlet?

All very good questions, and questions to which I thought I had forgotten the answer. The truth is, I've known the answer all along. All of the normal clutter fooled me into thinking I had no passion or creative outlet. You know the ones: "I don't have time," "I'm no good," "It's just an old hobby."

The irony is that for years I have been harping to others "You have time for what you make time for." It's time to take my own advice.

I recently read Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell. In it he describes the theory that in order for a person to master a skill, they must dedicate 10,000 hours to learning and practicing that skill. Writing has always been a joy for me. I would love to turn it into a real skill. This blog is way to hold myself accountable, keep track of my progress, practice writing, and share my journey as a mom and writer with you.

I hope to update you on projects, inspirations, tidbits I find about writing and publishing, and lessons learned in this grand experiment called parenthood.
