Less than perfect Writer
One of the real challenges of this blog will be learning to write short posts regularly - daily even - rather than loooooong posts few and far between. When inspiration hits it can be hard to limit the flow of words, and it is so hard to get enough time to do that sort of writing. If I want to write something everyday I will need to learn to become more concise, less verbose. I need to be economical with my words.
Writing has always been a frustrating ambition of mine. I love having had written, but the writing itself is something like having teeth pulled. Or rather more like washing dishes - hard to get started, somewhat satisfying to do if you can just be left alone long enough to finish the job, but it’s never really finished or ever as clean as you imagined it could be.
I have other ambitions too - to be a better homemaker (look out dishes!), a better mother, a better wife. To be a better manager of the household funds (how can I say that more concisely). To be, as I said in the first post more.
