I've Got to Commit Myself

I have recently been struggling to find a creative outlet.  I keep misplacing my drawing utensils, I don't have the necessary ingredients to bake something, I temporarily forget that I'm awful with a needle and thread, or I decide to catch up on Downton Abby or something.  The gist of the story is that the most creative I've gotten lately is making up excuses to not create a gosh-darned-thing.  

That's not entirely true but I haven't got much evidence to the contrary.  I've doodled in my drawing pad, I baked one pumpkin pie (with a store-bought crust), and I have managed to temporarily patch a hole in a pair of jeans (which really doesn't look like it will hold).  I've got to commit myself to something.

Voila!  That's where the dusty old blog comes in.  I'm going to try to write more often.  I even have a really great pen... which doesn't do much to help my in this digital format but still, it's really great.  I will use it for outlining, taking notes, or maybe making observations in the field. 

I would also love to welcome any topic requests.  A lot has happened since I last posted which hopefully gives me enough fodder for a few weeks.  I decided to post this to have YOU (the internet) hold me responsible.  I figured I would be more committed if something or someone was holding me accountable.
