Building a habit

I am not sure exactly *how* I wish to use this blog yet, but I am aware that it building a habit of writing regularly is very important.  I think at first, it will be a lot about the writing process and the feelings that writing my memoir brings up for me.  I expect I will also include snippets of writing that are part of my book writing process.  I cannot guarantee that those bits will all end up in the finished product, but they will be an important part of the process of weeding through the memories and writing the stories.

I have used online journals and blogs in the past, but always with very limited access, with only a few select friends able to see my postings.  This is different.  This is public, with my real name attached.  Fully "Google-able" and fully transparent to the world.   A memoir requires sharing a great deal of personal information about myself.  I am finding that prospect exciting, inspiring, and frightening... leaving me with a satisfied feeling of authenticity, but also a bit vulnerable.
