Direction

I've always wanted to blog. I've always thought I had a million things to say and that the world would want to hear some of those things. I felt that way right up until I created this blog. I had a huge realization. All my thoughts were gone. When I stared at the blank screen waiting patiently for the words to just fill up the space and flow rapidly and continuously I was shocked. An hour later, still nothing written. Two days later, still nothing written. I have contemplated all the reasons that went into creating a blog in the first place. I kept coming up like my computer screen...blank!
I am into so many things and there are so many different aspects to my character. I am not defined by one simple word or category. There are so many things I want to be a part of and understand. I have read hundreds of other blogs searching for ideas and trying to gain perspective. I have only been swallowed up by the giant beast, the internet.
Sometimes I feel like the little white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland. I'm running as fast as I can and of course I am late. But for what?
I found something on a friend's blog. It was a site for book reviews. I signed up for it today and my new book is on its way. All I have to do is review the book on my blog and one other website and they will continue to send me free books in exchange for my time in reading the book and writing the review. So with that, my quest for what to use this blog for has been answered.
The amazing part is that I came up with the title for my blog a while back and now it seems to fit with my new journey.
