Beginning

I set up this thing to provide an outlet for my random musings, and stage fright has kept me from writing anything for two years since. But another blogger (http://glaciercountyhoney.wordpress.com/author/glaciercountyhoney/), who promised herself that she would write something every day, has inspired me to make an attempt.

Right now, I'm reading Philip Yancy's Soul Survivor, the story of how thirteen individuals, most of them writers, saved his faith from "church abuse." My next reading will be chosen from among them. One of them, Frederick Buechner, is already one of my favorite writers. I'm ashamed to say that I've reached the middle of my sixtieth year and have not yet read Annie Dillard. Maybe she'll be the first of these authors to try.

Many of these are well-known authors that I have never read, but since I was a biology major who stayed as far away from English courses as possible, maybe I have a good excuse.
