Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I know....

So I've been sucking on the whole updating the blog thing. A lot has gone on my life but I'm going to make up for it....hopefully.

A new year is here and I've decided that I'm going to really try and accomplish things I may have been previously too scared to do. The really silly thing about it is, these are things I really want to do. Getting in shape isn't something I'm afraid to do as much as it is something I get lazy on and don't do. However, since starting derby, I have lost some weight and gained some muscle. I don't like going to a gym, I will if I have to, but I'd rather do something fun and the byproduct of that is you get in shape. Derby is perfect for that. I also mix in some running, cycling, and free weights stuff to change it up a bit. What I also hope to get from roller derby is confidence. I want to not worry about what people think if I go to an open mic night at a coffee house with my guitar and sing one of my songs. I want have the guts to send in my writing to places and not worry about being rejected.

As for writing, I've got about three different ideas going on at once. I need to pick just one and work on it, consistently. I would love to be published but I don't have the luxury of hiring an agent to send my work into a major publishing company and most, if not all, do not accept unsolicited work. So I have to look for smaller places, which isn't necessarily bad.

I'm not getting younger and I don't feel old but I guess what I feel is that I'm at a crossroads. I never set out with a plan for my life. I think I have always believed that the path will find me somehow. It will require work and I don't mind that at all, I guess I just wonder if there's more I could be doing.
