First Things First

I have to start somewhere, so here it goes.

Basically, I wanted a blog because everyone else has one. I already have a website, but I thought I needed a blog to enhance my life online. It will take me a while to get the hang of this blogging thing and to figure out what to put on it.

I'll start with telling you that I'm a writer. Sweet Violets will be about writing and other things I like to do. (I will often veer off the subject.) I'll post some poetry, scrapbooking ideas, travel tips and whatever comes to mind. I like restaurants, Disneyworld, and taking pictures. I'll share photos if they don't take forever to add. I write mostly non-fiction, personal essays, a lot of nostalgia, and poetry when the mood strikes me.

I'm currently working on a book about growing up in the 1950s to 1960s, a great time to remember.
