(Scroll to the end for a list of all posts in this series)

I am going to attempt (again) to complete the 31 day writing challenge presented by the Nesting Place. The idea is to write about one topic, every day, for the month of October. Let’s face it: I am no good at doing just one thing. If I choose one topic I will not finish this challenge. Part of my problem with writing and doing “more” with my writing is that I can’t seem to focus on one thing long enough to find my niche.

I have teetered back and forth on the decision to take this challenge. I don’t have time for it. But I don’t have time for anything really. And the truth is that I really enjoy writing. It is one of my first loves and a part of me that definitely only comes out for official purposes. I would like to see what may come out of me if I were just to write without expectations everyday for a month. Maybe somewhere in the midst of 31 blog posts a theme will emerge.

Why do I write? I write to clear my head. I write to express my feelings. I write to make a point. I write to inform and raise awareness. But what I wish is that I could write to entertain. That seems like so much more fun to me. If I had it my way I would tell tales that would inspire generations and change the world. Since I was a little girl, I’ve always dreamed that one day I would do just that. But as I approach my late thirties (!!!) I have yet to write anything that is going to inspire generations and change the world. And I am starting to think that I never will even attempt to stretch myself in that manner. I want to! But I am afraid and have a million reasons why I can’t.

So I have decided that I am just going to write: things that I have wanted to write but never had the guts to say; things that I have wanted to say but never had freedom to write; things I love; things I despise; the good I see; the evil I fear; my favorite memories; my unfinished dreams; my deep and enduring love for chocolate and wine. My hope is that the next 31 blog posts will be as random and diverse as my music collection; and if you’ve seen my music collection you know that this could be an interesting experiment if nothing else.
