Getting back on my game

I need to apologize.

I started this blog page with every intention to record the happenings of my life and somehow I've fallen off my game. so many things have happened and instead of writing about them, I've been effing around, slacking off, and procrastinating, in general. I spend too much time in my own head already and sitting and dwelling on things isn't helping. It isn't hurting either, I guess, but it would be so much more productive to write it all down. Even my useless, random thoughts would be better written down. I make excuses saying, 'I'm a storyteller-- a griot. Not a writer." While that is basically true, I still need to get on my writing game. It would help me personally and professionally. I am always talking about writing my REAL book that has nothing to do with academia but is about my crazy experiences in grad school. How can I do that if I don't record the strange and mysterious happenings in my life?

SO, I am declaring (semi)publicly that I am going to recommit myself to blogging.

Starting now.
