Beginning

This blank page is rather intimidating. All the ideas in my head want to come out, all at the same time, but of course, they refuse to line up in an orderly fashion. There are the story fragments, and the rants, and the reviews and critiques. All these shiny, new ideas wanting the limelight, darting to the forefront of my mind the moment another idea begins to assert itself. The larger the empty space, the harder it is to fill it.

For those who don't speak Russian and Spanish, the title of my blog translates to Hello friends. I can't claim to be fluent in either language, but I enjoyed studying both of them, and as many of my friends will tell you, if I forget a word in one language (including English) I'll substitute another freely. It's usually enough to jog my memory, so I can translate for anyone who didn't understand me, but it's usually obvious what I was trying to say. So, the title is a joke to share with my friends.

This page is no longer so blank, and the words are flowing more easily. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Privyet, little sister,

I have the same problem with my blog, only I can't manage to say it so concisely! It's easier to clear the backlog than to describe the problem. Go figure. :)

You've made a great beginning. I can't wait to see what you're going to paint in, now that you've prepped the canvas.
