For years I have thought about writing. I wanted to be a writer, but I have never had the confidence I needed to get past the starting point. That is not entirely true. I have written poetry, and I have the rejection letters to prove it. I guess the biggest challenge I had writing is my lack of confidence, and that is followed quickly by my laziness. Still, here I am writing.
And so, it begins. I told my wife that I haven't been able to get any writing started. Today, we start. I am pushing doubt aside. I am tapping on the keys of destiny. Well, at least the keys of my keyboard. I am starting a new adventure down a road that has been blocked by the thorns of doubt, the rocks of laziness, and a no trespassing sign I put up myself with my lack of confidence. I am walking down a road that I hope to follow for some time, and I look forward to sharing this trip with those who are willing to follow along. I cannot tell you exactly where this road will go, but I believe it may be a grand adventure.
Taking the first step forward.
