back to blogging.

I've been writing for as long as I can remember.

Scribbling thoughts during class.

Stuffing a notebook between the mattress and boxspring for privacy — but also because it was within reach when inspiration would strike.

Not being picked for a coveted role on the middle school newspaper — so I made sure I became editor of my high school, community college, and university newspapers instead.

Working for a daily newspaper.

And blogging, in some form, since 2009.

I've been nostalgic for this type of writing lately. I find myself writing rambling posts on Facebook and wondering if it annoys those who are my Friends.

This seems like a good outlet. Even if just for me.

And the timing is special — just as I'm getting ready to take a huge plunge and go back to school after a decade away — to finish that journalism degree.

So here we go. Crooked Tree — my most favorite song.
