An intro to my wondering and wandering mind.
I have had words and thoughts in my head, constantly, for as long as I can remember. I’ve journaled off and on over the years in an effort to find a place for all the words. I've spent the majority of my life writing for my career and my volunteer work. I had creative outlets, but it wasn't enough. I knew I wanted to write for me, for the pure joy of writing, but I didn't know where to start and wasn’t confident my stories would resonate with readers.
It wasn't until the last few years when a difficult life experience and a pandemic led me down a path of learning about myself and fully discovering who I am and what I have to share with the world. I came to understand that, yes, of course my words have value and, yes, I want to share them. It's taken a while, but I'm finally here, ready to publish.
You can expect Wondering Mind to have a variety of content and topics. It will be a place where I write about whatever topic is at the top of my mind when I sit down to write, an outlet for my stream of consciousness. I'll share stories and observations of life, as well as write about topics I am trying to understand. I may even delve into short fiction or poetry. The options are endless.
I intend to post a couple times a week, but not necessarily on specific days. This project is a creative outlet for me and will shift along with my life and activities to help maintain a creative work/life balance.
Wondering Mind is free to subscribers. It's possible I may add a subscriber option for specific writing down the road, if it fits into the creative path I'm developing, but I will always have free content. I want to connect with and learn from other writers and one way for me to do that is to maintain free content.
Thank you for you for being a part of my writing journey. I appreciate you and am grateful for your support as I start this new, exciting chapter in my life.
From my wondering mind to yours,
Mary
