Julie and Julia

As I sit here watching Julie and Julia, I wonder how many of you can envision yourselves in Julie like I can. She is a perfect portrayal of the typical blogger (although she had more success than the typical blogger). I laughed as she got excited over new comments and when she looked half asleep but still determined to write. When I started my blog, I had no idea how big the blogosphere was. I thought it was a unique and ingenious venture that few embarked on. How surprised was I when I began getting followers? Followers who themselves had more followers than I could ever imagine having! But as I continued writing, I found myself loving that I had readers. Loving that people took their precious time to make comments. I remember the first time I received comments from people I didn’t know. I didn’t do a hand clap game like Julie, but I definitely picked up the phone and called my husband immediately. My dream, like Julie, was is to be a writer. I have started many novels and have even completed one. Of course, I happily put my writing aside to have my wonderful baby girls, but I am ready to make another go at it. Writing for you wonderful people has brought back my writing itch and I am determined to give it my best shot. Wish me luck and thanks for stopping by!
