Too Many Kettles on the Stove
I have too many things going on and too many online social things like Twitter, MySpace, Face Book and Blogger. I don't do any of them very well as you can see by my posts. This place is private to me though. No one knows about it and I can write what I please at least for now, as none of my family knows it exists.
I am a person who had and still has great potential in many areas and therein lies my problem. I could have gone too many different ways so I didn't go any way. Oh, I achieved degrees, a M.Ed. degree to be exact but that's not what I really wanted to do. What I really wanted to do was something in the "ology" areas. Before that however, I wanted to be a jewel thief...yep, that's right, a jewel thief. Of course, I was just a kid and when I informed my mother of this she nearly had a cow! In fact, it worried her that one of her spawn should want to be a JEWEL THIEF.
So, what did I do instead? I got married right out of high school to a man (actually a boy who had just turned 18) and within 6 months of marriage became pregnant. What I should have done was go to college before I had kids, before I chose the profession I did which I chose because I had kids...oh and because I wanted a divorce and wanted to be able to take care of my kids and...get the picture?
So where am I now? You got it...no where. I'm not even working due to so many things that I'll have to tell those stories one at a time. Oh wait, I think I hear the violin music now! I've written several songs and never attempted to publish them. I've written 5 chapters of a novel, numerous children's stories, taken photographs that could be published, written tons of poetry (thus the title of this blog,) and numerous other writing endeavors. AND I'VE DONE NOTHING WITH ALL OF THEM!
Why? I've decided I don't multi-task too well and I get overwhelmed with all the details and don't know where to start but all that's just excuses--isn't it?
Time to go. Hopefully, it won't be an entire year before I write again and even if it is, who would know?
