As a writer…

I’ve always wanted to say that, write that. See, I read a small number of blogs written by women who are great writers, in my opinion. They make me laugh, sometimes want to cry (although, I try my best not to because I don’t like to cry), and they cause me to think about things. […]

I’ve always wanted to say that, write that. See, I read a small number of blogs written by women who are great writers, in my opinion. They make me laugh, sometimes want to cry (although, I try my best not to because I don’t like to cry), and they cause me to think about things. Some of the things they write about I agree with, some I don’t. But that’s beside the point.

Every once in a while they talk (write) about being a writer and all the ups and downs that go along with that. This is when I play a little game inside my head and pretend I am totally relating to any emotions or obstacles these writers may be facing. It’s kind of a fun game for me because it transports me to a world where I sit at a little desk, with a cup of coffee, typing away on a small laptop (one that isn’t broken, or isn’t the size of a TV). I take a break from furiously typing, take off my glasses with a quick sweep of my hand, scratch my head, and gaze off into the distance for the perfect words…

Then I quickly must put my glasses back on because I can’t see further than 10 inches in front of my face without them. And I have to plug in the laptop we affectionately refer to as “the beast” because it’s battery life lasts approximately 3.2 minutes. Next I am faced with attempting to upload the high quality photos I took on my phone, instead of a DSLRaslkfj;alkhfwieuh;k camera…whatever.

All that to say…as a writer. I can now check that off my list.

Jen Hirschman starting writing on this blog that her husband, Andy, started to post pictures of their remodel on their house. That turned into Jen taking the blog over, only to post silly family stories and photos, update family and friends on some happenings, and then abandon it from time to time. Enjoy!
