So Mr. Write suggested that I start blogging, and I was pretty resistant at first.  I didn't have anything to blog about and have never tried it before.  Since I fear change I balked and procrastinated.  Finally I decided to apply the same principal that authors everywhere employ and just started writing.  So here I am.  A little about me?  I'm a jack of all trades and master of none.  I have a degree in social work, so sometimes I manage to get a social work job.  I love writing adoption home studies and do it as often as I can--any time one comes my way.  I also happen to be a licensed massage therapist.  I was a stay at home parent with a couple of little boys at home when Mr. Write suggested that I go ahead and go to massage school if I wanted to.  So, a couple thousand dollars and almost two years of my life later I got a massage license.  I've been doing massage sporadically ever since.  Poor husband, everyone assumes that he gets massage all.the.time, but honestly it's probably like living with a chef.  I give him massages, but it's not quite as frequent as one would think.
To top it all off, I'm finally making moves towards realizing my dream of writing a full-length novel.  I have started and stopped so many times, but now I am working on it diligently, with a story in mind, with goals and deadlines in place.  I've disciplined myself to write at least 1000 words a day (which is really nothing) and I'm reading craft articles/books and plenty of other novels during this process.  I hope that I have awesome news to report as I make my way through this journey, and if I find something that can help other aspiring writers, I'll be sure to share it.
Do you have any awesome tips?  Any advice?  I'd love to hear it.
