Hello, again!

After many years, I have decided to start writing again.  

My life is in a totally different place to what it was when I last posted here.  I also see that my writing has developed -- I am a much better editor now and (hopefully) don't ramble on so much. 

I almost scrapped the blog entirely, because since 2013, I am an entirely different person.  I've changed my name, my gender marker, my appearance, my relationship status (I'm still married, but to a different person), my parental status (I'm still a parent, but to additional people), my geographic location, my citizenship, my religion, and my profession.  That's a lot of change! 

So, in preparation for a new approach to blogging, I have changed my photo, my name, and my headline and I've deleted a few posts showing me in my 'old' life.  I haven't deleted a number of really 'cringe' posts because they represent the old me and thoughts that are still part of my history.

I have made a commitment to write everyday. I won't necessarily post what I write here (or anywhere) and some posts may take more than a day to compose but the purpose of writing daily is to unclog the gears that cause writer's block and help to banish the inner critic that makes "the perfect the enemy of the good." 

I'm hoping to resurrect this old thing because I believe there is some potential here for me to drag some thoughts out of my brain onto the screen that other people might like to read.  

To be a writer, one has to write.  And so I shall.
