Write it already

Okay, so I used to write all the time. I would spend hours and hours writing (when I wasn't doodling or making caricatures of my teachers) in High School. But then something happened. I won a couple writing contests. I then started to expect so much from my writing that my internal censor kicked into overdrive and shut down all output. I had a brief period after I met my wife when my endorphin levels were at obscene levels that I could write. I also had a good run of RP posting, but that was not me writing so much as the character coming to life. Anyways, I am not a big talk about myself kinda guy, but I figured I had to start somewhere.

I'm a mid thirties married guy. I met my wife on a blind date, no shit, and have never looked back. She is my better half. Many men say that as a hackneyed cliche, but I mean it. I was lost before I met her and haven't been since. I have two kids who are truly my life. My boy is so much like me that I feel bad for him sometimes. I know the mountains that I put in my own way and I hope he can avoid that habit. My girl hasn't had it easy either. She was born early and had a seizure disorder for her early years. Due to her early birth and the disorder, or perhaps the barbiturates she was on at such a young age, she has had a number of learning difficulties. One thing that girl has never done is make excuses. God bless her for that.

Anyways, I have decided to start writing again - as in creative writing. As a precursor to this, I figured I could start warming up with this blog. The emphasis is selfish, I admit it. However this is not to be a whine-fest and I will try hard to keep any rants to a low roar.
