Hey! Look! I'm writing something!

What's that you say? Diane is writing? What the fuck?

Yes, my friends, it's true. I'm actually blogging.

In all honesty, I haven't had a lot to write about lately, but I had an epiphany today. A lot of things hit me at the same time, and every one of them stung in one way or another. Weird stuff from friends, loved ones, and even a couple of people who don't know me. In my haze of menopause, I came to the decision to remove a bunch of my writing from places where it was posted on the internet. Why? Because it's just sitting there. Quietly. Doing nothing. I think people are reading. I even see the numbers as they rise on my hit counter, but nobody ever says anything. So I said to myself, "Listen, Bozo, it's time. Just take 'em down." And then I wrote the emails to start the ball rolling.

I know it seems like a small thing, but it wasn't. It was cathartic and I really think that I feel better. Add to that the fact that I should have a decision on the book within the next week, and I feel pretty good at the moment. Actually better than I did an hour ago.

Yay for me!
