Beginings

Ever feel that you just started something because everyone else has said that it is the "thing" to do? Haha! That is what this blog is starting out as. I guess a more appropriate start would be to introduce myself and my purpose for this blog. Okay...here it goes.

I am Kirsten Tucker, currently of Abilene, Kansas. No...I don't know Dorothy. I am a disabled veteran, a soldiers wife, full time student, soon to be first time mom, poet-writer, and wanna-be published author. That is a lot. It's okay, take a moment. It's not really as much as one would think, it's only when listed as above that it becomes daunting...to me. I have lived in various places around the country, spent some time over seas, but definitely not as much as others, I have some knowledge but don't profess to know everything. I leave that to my older sister, who is far more worldly than I. I am an American woman therefore I do have an opiion, regardless of knowledge about almost anything, I just know when to put it out there for general consumption and when not to.

Currently I am in-between job and school. School picks up again in January and the job, I don't know about that, it's on the back burnner. I am looking to support my writing habit with a job as a teacher. I am healthy and baby (henceforth to be known as Peanut) is doing well. I am just starting to feel him kick and move about pretty good. Course my husband and I don't know if it is a boy or girl yet, but we would definitely like a boy. He is deathly afraid of having a girl so I soothe him with the possibility of a son. Other than that, not much going on at present.

My purpose for this blog is to get myself put out there in hopes that when I get published, there will be some little group of people that already know who I am, are familiar with what I write and are willing to shell out a few clams just for lil' ol' me. We'll see how that goes. I am such a procrastinator, which could make things difficult for me. *Sigh*. I guess if I get enough people who make comments, (I'm desperate, it will only take one) then I guess I could at least keep up with this.

I warn that my format will not be on any particular topic and will undoubtedly swtichback around. Tummy-sensitive people beware. I will probably rant, hop up and down on my soap box and occassionally slap someone silly. I will also look into putting some of my work on here. One step at a time though. I do look forward to seeing responses...course...now I need to find people to thrust my blog at!

At any rate. Merry Christimas and Happy New Year.
