It’s my blog and I will write what I want to!

I love driving down old Route 66 in some of the less populated areas over by Amboy. Shout-out to Roys!  We always stop by the roadside and just sit and listen to the silence. It’s pretty weird. So quiet. No crickets or birds. Rarely a car. Even the wind is on mute. You feel weird, almost oppressed by the silence but in a good way. We are so used to noise, that the lack of it is almost too much to bear.

You may be wondering if all these posts  are going to be about NaNo. Good question. Probably not. But the future looks hazy, shake again. 

That was part of the problem, and one of the reasons why blogging was so hard. I was trying to think about all of you. The potential readers. What did you want from me? You are not very good at letting me know. The silence was deafening. 

I spent so much time worrying about what to write and just knowing that I was going to be wrong and people would hate me and gamergate shit would happen. Somehow I would be doxed and put my family in danger. Yes I am very good at catastrophizing. Creative people create no matter what. 

This is different. I still care what you think. I would like you to like me, my writing. But for now I am going to focus on what I want to write. Buckle up, it’s going to be a strange ride. I have a lot of different interests. 

So the goal is thirty days of posts. Any kind of posts. (It would have been 31, but I missed the first day of NaNo. 

Ideally at the end of thirty days, I will find my feet, my voice, and perhaps some other wanderers out there looking for a place to hang for a little bit and this can go on. We’ll see. 

PS If you NaNo and want to connect search for Paula1849.
