What to Say, What to Say?

Deciding to start a blog the same day I have my wisdom teeth pulled, may or may not have been a bad idea. After all, the Ibprofen and Percocet building up in my system has made some parts of life seem a little foggy. Yet I was able to think clearly enough to pick out a layout and a title and write a little about myself, without too much embarrassment or too many errors. And then it stops there. All week I’ve come back to the blog, trying to figure out what to write, and finally, four days later I’m actually going to post!

This is the blog, By Martha Grace, because hopefully someday that’s exactly what I’ll see when I open up a magazine or scroll down an online news site, or scan over titles at Barnes and Noble. Hey, why not get the name out there now so that others can grow accustomed to seeing it as well?

By Martha Grace may be as scattered, quirky, and multi-faceted as its namesake. I try not to ramble and I can face the fact that not everyone cares how many times I cried due to the wisdom-teeth painkillers, or the play-by-play of my outing to the shopping mall. But I may post pictures of the exciting places I went or people I spent time with. I may also post “pretty things” because I like to find those, too. And as a writer I’ve learned that everyone has a story, even if life seems mundane and unexciting. So that’s my goal: to find the purpose and excitement in some of the smaller aspects of life. When I present those to you, I hope you’ll enjoy, relate, and share with me about yourself as well.
