Paved with Good Intentions.

This spot has been a place for my varied interests beyond the reading I report at my Discriminating Reader site. I had to laugh when I realized I had posted last (year) about New Year’s Resolutions. And then I just stopped. I was reminded of a conversation about baby books over Christmas. My sister told us that in her brother-in-law’s baby book, the only thing AT ALL was these words: “Felt sharp pain.” He is the third child.

Sometimes this blog has been a place I’ve facilitated some online writing workshops with friends. This year I’m going to share my activities that extend beyond my reading–and that leaves plenty. Since my interests extend to writing, music, arts and crafts, I will show up regularly to share. I already have plenty of plans in the works–David Rawlings at the Ryman tomorrow, The Caldwell Traditional Musicians Showcase (in Lenoir, NC) in March, Merlefest in April, and Swannanoa Gathering Old Time Music and Dance Week in July. Meanwhile, I’m auditing a printmaking class at Lipscomb and have big plans–unfinished projects included.

I hope I’m not just speaking into a vacuum. I want to know what others are doing as well. This time I plan to post more than once a year!
