Wow- so I haven't touched this blog in quite awhile, have I? I have all kinds of excellent excuses, a lack of electricity and internet access in my lifestyle, mountains to climb, plants to count, mosquitos to smash or occassionally rescue from the suicide missions into my oatmeal before smashing, and just general laziness. It has a lot to do with laziness. I tell people I want to be a writer, and yet, sometimes it is so hard for me to put such pretty plans into action. Aside from my personal journals and the trip reports for work, i haven't written much at all in 2008.
I'm freshly feeling guilty because I met another aspiring writer this weekend at an excellent Oktoberfest party in Lamiolle, NV. We talked writing and adventures around a His blog puts mine to shame. And shame is not an emotion that I am very familiar with, so I am taking it pretty hard. But it is also an excellent motivating factor.
I have so many things I want to write about, 2008 had thus far been a pretty great year for adventures and inspiration, so I guess I need to suck up my excuses and my doubts, and get back to work. I feel a little deja vu about this- prehaps I have restarted my devotion to this blog before a few times...but maybe this is for real....wish me luck....and occasional readership....in the efforts to follow.

Obviously, you were not raised Catholic, you shameless girl you.
Sometimes, I want to tell people, "Just because I WANT to write doesn't mean it's not work, and damn hard, too!"
So, yeah - I hope you keep writing, and puttin' it out there. I for one will read it!
