First Post! Cute Picture Inside, Too!

"I bought groceries today."
It seems like a pretty mundane thing to say, huh? Everyone has to buy food. We all have to eat. For a lot of people, grocery shopping is a chore and something to dread.
I love it.
I'm spending my own money, making my own choices based around what I need. It's a learning process that will probably turn mundane for me too, sometime in the future. I hope that doesn't happen for awhile, though. I work my dream job every single day. My younger self never would have imagined actually having all this that I daydreamed about for my entire life: living in my own place, working only as a writer and nothing else. Isn't that the dream? And I finally have it.
It's not as perfect as it sounds. Nothing really is, is it? I won't say that writing is the hardest job in the world because I know it definitely is not, but I will say that it's just like any other job: grueling, repititous, and I hate my boss (me) and my coworkers (also me.) However, just the fact that I am here at all to enjoy it and take pride in the little things...
Wow.
Never thought I'd get here.
But, enough of that for now. Hi, my name is Emily, but I would prefer if you call me Blue. I am a freelancing ghostwriter, and I have tried to write a blog before with very little success.
Actually, I've tried to do a lot of things before without success...
But this time will be different, maybe, possibly? I hope so. For once, the future looks pretty good in all directions (except for upcoming tax season. Yikes. Don't look there.)
A little bit about me, I suppose? There's not much I can say at the moment that can't be found in the actual "About Me" section, so take a look there. There's more, of course. There is always is, beneath the surface, but an introductory post isn't the place for those kinds of things.
If you stumble across my blog, I just wanted to say hi and introduce the editor:

That's my Cassie! She's a young parrotlet who loves to bite (me) and chew on things (me again) and climb (still me.) Little devil bird, but I love her to bits. You'll probably be seeing more of her in the future.
So, what's the point of this blog?
To talk about writing, to advertise (sorry, I'll keep it to a minimum, I promise. It'll be announcements and links at the most) to share random thoughts, or toss around websites I like, and to just...connect. I hope you stick around, or at least think Cassie is cute before you leave and forget about me!
