Adrienne, is a un-computer savvy girl who got her computer savvy friend Ron (he actually went to school for computers) to teach her how to use a blog. The reason for her interest in blogging? After telling a tale to one of her friends he suggested that her story should be put into blog form. Adrienne has many random thoughts that she wants to share with the world and so now she has begun a blog. Please be patient with her horrible grammar, maybe someday she will tell you why it is so bad.

One of my last posts

I recently rented the period film 'Room with a View' for my mom because she was sick. We watched some of the special features at the end of the film and their was an interview with a Cambridge professor who knew the writer EM Forster. EM Forster only wrote a few books in his life time but each one of them gained critical acclaim. The interviewer asked the Cambridge professor why he thought that Forster only wrote a few books? The prof responded with something along the lines of ;
'Writers write because they are unhappy with their life. When they aren't writting they are happy."
I think that this was a blanket statement but I think that their is some merit to it. For me I think it is true. I only ever write in my journal or in my blog when I am unhappy. Good news is too exciting to sit down and write about. Bad news is much easier. And so I am slowly bringing this blog to an end. It served its purpose in my life for a time, a time when I wanted someone to talk to but didn't have them around to speak with. A time when I was a little depressed and lonely. A time when I felt like no one was interested enough to share or understand my thoughts wtih.
Now I feel like some light is shining into my life, I am slowly coming out of my fog. God is renewing me and re-directing me. It feels good and He is good to me.

I think that is a very narrow view of what writing is all about. :(

Some would go so far as to say that writing is what makes you think about things more! See here: http://www.paulgraham.com/writing44.html

I agree with mike. I write because I love too. I love to keep a journal because its a great reflection and it allows your mind to express its self.

i also agree. it's cool that God can make beautiful things (like confused introspect) with our misery, but let's not limit that, and, furthermore, let's not thank our misery.
