Humor of the Day

So, after talking to my neighbor Laura about blogs and writing, she has inspired me to re-think the format of my blog. Originally, I had started this blog as a place to "just write"...write about anything I felt like rambling on about. Yet, as one can see, my ramblings have been few and far between. I think this is partly because I feel that each time I post a piece, it needs to be a fully "polished" piece. Maybe this stems from the fact that I am a professional (technical) writer and everything I write for work HAS to be perfect ...there really is no margin of error in good, technical writing.

In an attempt to break "free" and "just write" as I had intended to do in this blog, I am planning to incorporate a daily "Humor of the Day" anecdote. I've decided that each day, I am going to try to find something that happened that day that amused me and post it. Others may find it funny; they may not. And, that's fine. But, in doing so, I hope to achieve two goals:

1) Focus on the things that made me feel good during the day (as opposed to whining and complaining about the daily doldrums)

2)Write more freely. Some days, I may just have an anecdote to post; other days, I may feel more like Erma Bombeck and post a fully, developed story.

Who knows where this blog will go, but hopefully, it will get updated more frequently.
