My FIRST Blog Post

Welcome readers to my place in the virtual world where I can "think out loud".  Currently, this blog is a place for me.  I am making myself write; write about anything that comes to mind.  I am currently preparing for a test in which I will be required to write based on a given prompt.  While preparing all of the old insecurities come back.  I have myself convinced that I can't write before I even begin.  I can't gather any coherent thoughts. 

I am my own worst enemy when it it comes to writing.  For years I have told myself and everyone else that I am not a writer.  I am a numbers person.  Give me a difficult math problem and I have the confidence that I can solve the problem.  Give me a writing prompt and I immediately become my own worst critic. 

My thoughts here will be random; no particular direction to go.  I am simply working on stretching myself outside my comfort zone to success.
