Committing.

Splash of Color: Avoiding Research.

Though my buzz of the day is avoiding research, I feel as though this first post should be about commitment. Commitment to what? To finally sitting myself down and getting it out. I've always said I wanted to be a professional writer, but the problem has always been about commitment.

I work for a living, I have a husband, I'm a graduate student in sociology. I've committed to all of these things, but I've never committed to the one thing that I've always had a passion for: writing. And maybe that's why I'm here today, blogging, because I've decided to commit.

Maybe it won't be easy (heh, who am I kidding? It is going to be incredibly hard) and maybe I still cringe a little bit when people look over my shoulder and ask me what I'm doing (fantasy fiction anyone?), but I think it's worth a shot. After all, what do I have to lose?
