The Inaugural Post -- Butt In Chair

From Anne Lamott:
How to write: Butt in chair. Start each day anywhere. Let yourself do it badly. Just take one passage at a time. Get butt back in chair.

I think about writing all of the time. People tell me I should write all of the time. Yet I don't... So here I go. My butt is not in a chair; it's in a bean bag, but I think Anne Lamott would be cool with that.

My subjects are almost always my children or observations on family life. My hope is that I write with a sense of humor that shows a strong sense of love, joy, and gratitude in my family life.

My goal is to post at least two pieces of writing per week. By "writing" I mean something that I have revised and feel good about - or at least a little bit good about it.

Wish me luck... we'll see how this goes...


Also, I think posts without pictures are boring, so I'll try to include pictures, too.
