Overdue

Ever had writer's block? I'm pretty sure I've had it for the past few years. The idea of starting a blog has floated around in the back of my mind for awhile now, but I never was sure what gems of wisdom and wit would I have to offer the world? I have friends who are great bloggers. They're funny, clever and seem to have some pretty entertaining stories and anecdotes. "Why can't I do that?" I would think. But every time I sat down to start something, the ideas would feel stale, boring or just not good enough. Hence, the writer's block.

So today, in the words of Nike, I decided to Just Do It. I'm taking the plunge into the blogging world. It's not that I have something important to say, any new, earth-shattering ideas or a fascinating viewpoint on current events. I just need a place to have a little fun doing some long, overdue writing.

Like any good journalism nerd, I had to research my project before getting started. I read articles on blogs and tried to brainstorm some ideas of things I could write about. The main takeaway from my readings? Write about what you like. So here are a few things you might expect from my little corner of the Internet:

Family, friends and fur-kids, K-State sports, Chiefs football, NASCAR, fashion, fitness, food, scrapbooking, shopping, motorcycle rides, reading and my love of the color purple.
