A Minute Before Lunch

Well, I wanted to start a new blog to maintain my writing skills, enhance my social media resume and remember a time in my life that was, well, fun.

I added the last statement in order to transition into this brief bio. This is not my first blog. In fact, this is not even my second blog. Years ago, I was devoted to Tumblr, but it was more of a personal journal. Then I found Blogger. Through my second blog on Blogger, I quickly fell in love with writing about current U.S. and Entertainment News and conducting interviews with people, whom I believed to be extremely talented and the next "big thing".

However, that life was short lived. I created it one year and the next year it was all but non-existent. My life became a little more hectic than it was when I first started it, and, sadly, my blog suffered the consequences. However, it was a passion, and passions never just die. Even in my absence, I thought about it - day in and day out. As I connected with different Artists and Professionals I thought about all the amazing interview opportunities that I was passing up. Everyday I saw an article about 'Breaking News' on someone else's site, I thought about all the first to drop opportunities I had let pass me by. This passion, it never died, time just stopped permitting my ability to do it.

I have seen a lot of changes in the "Bloggersphere" since my last hurrah. To be honest, some of those changes are a bit intimidating for a country girl like myself. Now people blog to become famous ! I'm pretty sure TMZ has about 100 bloggers on its radar for the "Next Big Story". Bloggers win awards now, shout out to Necole Bitchie. Bloggers are celebrities now - zero name drops, you know them.

Those things are great, and I am so proud of each and every blogger that has changed the game. I am grateful for their relentless hustle and pure talent for creative writing and self expression. However, one with even the slightest conscious cannot help but feel my sense of insecurity and intimidation. Having stepped away and not being in this world during a time when it was cultivating born WINNERS and success stories. It is a tough welcoming crowd and an even tougher one to please.

However, the passion never died. Therefore, I am back- as well as I know how to be. Not like I never left, but like I left and came back as a beginner. I embrace that. Dear Drake, I'm starting from the bottom, but one day I will see you up there!
