I want to wake up every morning and find inspiration from all that is around me. It may come from places I never expected - that is often the best way to get it. It may come from spending time with my children or reading and learning something new.
I want to take that inspiration and turn it into something that will make a difference to others.
I want to start every day by writing a blog post that is meaningful without the dreaded writer's block standing in my way.
I want to write without fear of what people might think of me.
I want to write for others to help them meet their professional or personal goals.
I want to write about interesting people. I want to learn about their contributions to the world and their outlook on life. I want to present them with a piece that they will love and share with their friends and family.
Someday, I want to walk to my mailbox and find a check made payable to me for my writing talents as a freelancer.
I want to write stories about my childhood so that others may learn from my best efforts and my worst mistakes.
Instead of scrapbooking, I want to write a book about each of my kids documenting their lives. I suck at scrapbooking. :)
I want to tackle my writing bucket list which includes my daily journal, an e-book, and blog posts about my fondest memories and the Billy Joel songs that remind me of them.
I want to write so that people know the real me.
I want to pursue my dream of becoming a writer that I've had since I wrote my first story in the 4th grade.
What do I want? I want a writer's life.
I call this blog Left Brained & Write Handed. We store our grammar and vocabulary skills in the left side of our brains. Plus, I use both hands to type and one to write and they are both the right hands for the job! Hence the blog name "Left Brained & Write Handed."
I'd love for my TRDC friends and other close friends and family to follow my journey, bring me good concrit and support as I move into this phase of my life. Thanks!
