Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! Except for email, this is my first attempt at doing anything similar to what the rest of the world is doing on the internet. I usually run about ten years behind the times of new technology and it's been a couple of years since I first heard the word "blog"--what an odd name!--so I guess maybe I'm getting better!

I decided to try a blog since it's free and easy to set up and because my husband and others in my family have been trying to get me to show off my artwork. I figured even I could do this much. I read about setting up a website and it really scared me with all the optimizing and search engines and such. Right now I don't know if the blog thing is any different than that, but I decided "let's just see"! Sometimes ignorance can be bliss!

I also wanted to use this blog as a creative outlet for my writing. I love to write! I'm currently working on a story--a long story!--and I've also thought about doing short stories as well. Whatever I'm in the mood for.

So, as I go about working on my new blog, adding and deleting different ideas to see what works and what doesn't, I hope you will walk with me and give your input and ideas (or instructions!) so we will both have an enjoyable place to visit!
