Start.

I have never considered myself a "blogger," although I have blogged consistently (more-or-less) for the past 10 years. What I write is more, well, abstract reflections and commentary on my human existence.

I like writing. I like existing. It makes sense to pair the two, doesn't it?

Friends have commented over the years that it is difficult to understand, and that they still don't really know what I "do."

So this is a commitment to post what I do - publicly - and often. My project is to capture something - anything, some form of evidence - of what I do on a daily basis, and to post it. Maybe it's a quotation from a book that I read, or something that I heard in ballet class. Maybe it's a photograph from a run, or a crochet pattern I tried. The parameters are intentionally broad to support my success.

Today I think it enough to start this: I Heart Verbs, wherein I celebrate the Doings of my day. This post is evidence enough.

  1. I, for one, would like to say I love both.

    You are a great writer, and I am not saying that because you are dating me. I really enjoy your work molding and crafting words. It is extremely evident that you love words and that you work with them because you love them - that you are not "using" them to gain something other than love for them.

    I quite enjoy your other blog - I was re-reading your post from december 26th today. It is most definitely poetry. The rhythm and cadence of your words slips very magically through my mind as I read over your arrangements.

    This blog entry is completely different and not different at all.

    Your words are so... you...
