Expanding my writing and testing some new waters!

One of the reasons many people blog, other than to connect with others, is because we enjoy writing. For me, writing has always been something more. Writing isn't just something I enjoy, I have a passion for it. I have been doing it since I was a little girl. I used to write poems for everyone in the family. I think my grandma probably still has a box somewhere. I still have a little book about as secret door in a little girl's closet. I have all the poems I ever wrote in school, all of my newspaper articles from high school. I am sure you get the drift by now. I love it. Although personal writing, such as this blog, and children's stories are my favorite, I have decided to branch out. I am now the frugal family writer for examiner.com. I am one little ball of excitement wrapped up in nervousness. All of a sudden, a bad case of writer's block hit while I tried to start that first article. Suddenly I felt like I had no advice to offer. I realized that when you write something you want others to read, it is very personal, whether it be for a personal blog, for your eyes only, or an article that you are writing to inform. It is a little piece of you that you are putting into that writing.

So, what I am trying to say in a very verbose way is that I am now writing elsewhere as well, and I would love for you to join me there as well! Please subscribe if you would like! Also, if you would like to try your hand at some other writing, head on over to the examiner.com. Let them know I sent you ;)

Plus, I would like to give a big hug to Stacey at all stace all the time, without her I wouldn't have had the encouragement and push I needed to do this. (Nor the knowledge that it was out there!). Thanks, Stace!
