While You Were Blogging

While you were blogging, my blog was sleeping.  I'm embarrassed at how long I've neglected to post an update and how sporadic I have been.  You all understand how life can drag your attention elsewhere...  Instead of reflecting on what should have been, I'm embracing the clean slate of a new year.  Happy 2012!

A new project is on the agenda for 2012.  This idea got started halfway through 2011 when I had a curious thought.  How much time do I spend reading in a year and how many books?  I've challenged myself with various reading goals in the past, but this year I am going to keep a record of it all.   My reading "journal" will include, book title, author, dates & times read, if the book was borrowed from the library or purchased, and what type: paper, ebook, or audio.  I may even make notes on what I loved or disliked about various novels.  Think of it as a A Year of Books scrapbook.  I'm curious to see what my totals are as we head into 2013.

You may have noticed that my blog focus has slowly gone from writing to crafting.  At this time, it will most likely be my main topic.   Writing hasn't been the most pressing item on my agenda.  I truly believe that it will become more prominent at a later point, but for now I'm content to fit it in when my schedule and family allow.  Stay tuned as regular craft posts will begin again soon.
