― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
I asked my close friend to preview the piece that I am posting today. After giving me her feedback , she posed a direct question, as good friends usually do. She asked “What is this blog going to be about ? Is it family ? Memoir ? Is it some form of catharsis ? Is it going to be funny?”
Good questions. I’m not sure. I started a blog a few years ago,with the focus on being a Mom, writing about my kids in a sarcastic,kind of snarky way. The two people that read it seemed to enjoy my posts,but I didn’t keep up with it and let it drift away. So I begin again, with the quote from Stephen King in my head “Write what you know” . Some posts will be memories, some might be observations, or a story of something that happened to me that day. Whatever comes to me as I sit on my back porch.
I welcome your comments and feedback, should you happen to stumble across my little site.
